P: Truncated fields and font glitches in Metadata panel

[johnrellis]

The Metadata panel has some glitches in LR 10 / Mac OS 10.15.5 with the new fonts:

p2-048c092d-5508-423a-a937-cb8f1fe09e49-1040844803.png

And some fields don't display their last line (off by one error?):

To reproduce this, try changing the width of the panel.

About the fonts in LR 10, the Lightroom Queen wrote: "[T]he font has been updated throughout the app, to use Adobe’s newly standards. While many formatting issues have already been identified and fixed, you might still find a few odd gremlins or spacing issues."

Here's another example, with a custom metadata tagset:

p4-3ebcd8ed-a9c8-4346-92ac-c68ae4bc86f5-1038997761.png

Here's the definition of that tagset:

return {title = "Any Vision",id = 'anyvision',items = {
     {"com.johnrellis.anyvision.labels", height_in_lines = -1},{"com.johnrellis.anyvision.landmarks", height_in_lines = -1},{"com.johnrellis.anyvision.locations", height_in_lines = -1},{"com.johnrellis.anyvision.map"},{"com.johnrellis.anyvision.logos", height_in_lines = -1},{"com.johnrellis.anyvision.faces", height_in_lines = -1},{"com.johnrellis.anyvision.text", height_in_lines = -1},{"com.johnrellis.anyvision.safeSearch", height_in_lines = -1},"com.johnrellis.anyvision.dominantColor","com.adobe.separator",{"com.adobe.caption", height_in_lines = -1},"com.adobe.GPS"}}

I'm seeing the same thing. Text boxes such as Title and Caption are sized too small and are cutting off the last line of text.  Only by clicking on a box and selecting the contents and forcibly scrolling the field down can the last line be viewed.  The attached screen grabs show a Caption with the last line cut off, and the same Caption but selected with the last line visible but still partially cut off.  Lightroom Classic 10.2.  This only started when I upgraded to Catalina 10.15.7.

In grid view, titles of portrait-orientation photos run into the grid frame and are partially obscured.  See attached screen grab. Lightroom Classic 10.2. This only started when I upgraded to Catalina 10.15.7.

I just checked on this and do not find a bug so I wrote a new bug today. Thanks for the additional information.

[johnrellis]

Unfortunately, I still see the Title and Caption fields get truncated as I increase the width of the right column:

Updates to Lightroom Classic and the Lightroom Ecosystem products for Desktop, Mobile and Web were released today and contain a fix for this issue.

Please refresh your Creative Cloud application and install your update when it becomes available. Thank you for your patience.

@steve_swayne 

Are you using  Windows?  I think it is a Mac only issue.

[serendigity]

I have exactly the same issue with MacOS Catalina, latest Lightroom Classic. It seems to be a long standing issue. Very disappointing that such a simple interface issue has not been resolved before now. All Adobe needs to do is make the code for Filename and Title fields the same as the code for the Description field, which behaves properly. This is not rocket science, just a lack of adequate task management by those in charge.

[johnrellis]

Still happening for me on LR 10.1.1 / Windows 10 with Font Size: Automatic:

 

[serendigity]

Currently in the latest version of Lightroom Classic (and all earlier versions) the fields for seeing and editing the File Name and Title are hard fixed at one line of around 30 characters. This is crazy with modern operating systems that allow for loooonnnggg file names, and for people who use long Titles. Can Adobe please allow for the entry fields to be bigger or auto adjustable in size. By comparison, the fixed Keyword Tags displayed content is massive, and the Caption field auto resizes to suit content - which is precisely what File Name and Title should do as well.  Thank you.  If no Adobe person will ever see this, where do I submit corrections for bad interface design?

Not everyone has fond memories of ye olde 8.3    XXXXXXXX.XXX   fixed file name sizes...

 

[johnrellis]

Unfortunately, I still see the glitch between Title and Caption when I first enter the values into the fields (using auto completion):

And I still see the truncation of the fields as I adjust the width of the right column:

LR 10.1 / Mac OS 10.15.7.

[Rikk Flohr: Photography]

Try out 10.1, released yesterday, and see if the fields look better. 

[johnrellis]

I was able to provoke a glitch on LR 10 / Windows by starting with "Robert in backyard, Nara (with his stuffed" and then adding one non-space at a time and slowly sliding the panel width back and forth:

I could reproduce it by changing the width of the panel.

In the Library module, all editable metadata fields with more than one line of text display truncated text unless I select the field. I've attached two screen grabs, one shows the unselected state and the other the selected state. When unselected, the bottom line of text is missing.

The recently released version 10.4 of LrC does not fix this issue, alas.  So I guess we’ll have to wait longer…hopefully it will be addressed at some point.

[FeedbackCommunityMember]

Same. Version 10.3 DID NOT fix this issue at all on Catalina 10.15.7. I find the lack of response on this issue from Adobe is very disturbing. 

[FeedbackCommunityMember]

Alas, the newly released version 10.3 does NOT fix this issue, at least not for me on a 27" iMac running Big Sur 11.3.1. For me, the behavior remains the same as it has been since LrC 10 was released.

[FeedbackCommunityMember]

When will this issue be fixed? It's been a few months now. Please fix this.

[FeedbackCommunityMember]

I have exactly the same issue v10.1.1. on mac 10.15.7. 

[FeedbackCommunityMember]

I've dug a bit more into this, and the issue is not restricted to the Title field.  I certainly can't say I've tried ALL fields, but any text field I've tried shows this issue.  For example, the Caption field is built in to show 5 lines, but if one enters a Caption that spans more than 5 lines, the last line will not display.  I've  also tried a number of other fields, with the same result.

[FeedbackCommunityMember]

I am able to reproduce this consistently.  For me, what occurs is that after initially entering a multi-line Title and hitting Return, LrC correctly displays the entire Title.  However, if one deselects that image and later returns to that image, LrC fails to display the last line (e.g., if the Title as entered required 3 lines to display fully, after reselecting the image only 2 of the 3 lines will display.

See this video below for examples

The video was made with all 3rd party plugins disabled and with a new, virgin catalog.

I also tried changing the font size in Preferences->Interface from Small to Large and back again (restarting LR each time) and the problem persisted no matter which font size was selected.

[defaulttkxt3jx2tel1]

I just updated to Catalina 10.15.7 and am runing Lightroom Classic 10.2 and just started seeing this problem.  The last line of text in the caption box is cut off.  Also, in grid view, the title of a portrait thumbnail runs into the border of the box.
