Posted by: Date: 5:51 PM 08-24-2006 Long text on web sites buttons result in clipped buttons in the "Projects" tab. See these screenshots: ​http://pkg-boinc.alioth.debian.org/images/screenshots/clipped_buttons_01.png ​http://pkg-boinc.alioth.debian.org/images/screenshots/clipped_buttons_02.png ​http://pkg-boinc.alioth.debian.org/images/screenshots/clipped_buttons_03.png ​http://pkg-boinc.alioth.debian.org/images/screenshots/clipped_buttons_04.png

There are also some dialogs which cut off some strings. See these screenshots: ​http://pkg-boinc.alioth.debian.org/images/screenshots/clipped_text_01.png ​http://pkg-boinc.alioth.debian.org/images/screenshots/clipped_text_02.png This is annoying since the dialogs are not resizable and this means you can't read the full text.

This happens at least on Debian and Ubuntu.
