Boinc stats balloon truncates information on quad core CPU

[va3naa]

Mousing over the Boinc application in the system tray triggers a stats balloon to display showing progress of applications. On my WinXP Pro 32Bit Quad Core running four world community grid tasks, the status of the last task in the display is truncated. It only contains 'World Comm'. The remainder of line is blank....

World Community Grid: 75.38% completed
World Community Grid: 64.22% completed
World Community Grid: 23.33% completed
World Comm

Hope this helps. I've seen this at least since v6...but I am pretty sure I didn't under v5.10.45

This is a limitation of Microsoft Windows, see here: ​http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb773352(VS.85).aspx

The field szTip only allows up to 127 visible characters, but your text is longer. However, there is another filed called szInfo which would allow 255 visible characters - does anyone know why this one isn't used instead of szTip?

This case was covered in my original patch. For unknown reasons, it still hasn't been applied. See #9
