Long item names overwrite weapon/equipment data

"The cough drops of inventory letter q have a very long name.

And when scrolling back up, they overwrite part of the weapon. In this manner, the inventory letter of the weapon is sometimes also overwritten, leading to temporarily lost information.

This is in release candidate 0.9-4834."

Right now this doesn't have an easy fix due to the string freeze. That said the easiest way would probably just be changing the name of cough syrup to something a little shorter.

Yeah we could just replace non-drowsy cough syrup with daytime cough syrup and it would fix this. Simple enough, once 0.A lands.

[Soyweiser]

Yeah. That is the simple solution. Does not prevent it cropping up later or on translations. We could fix it more elegantly i would say.

[i2amroy]

The difficulty in implementing a more "elegant" solution lies in the fact that the problem is in how our screen display is set up. Really the only way to handle this better would be to implement something that automatically shortened names appropriately when they were too long.

ncurses and sdl text have a length limit for fields, it's just that a lot
of them have bad values. The only thing needed for this is determining how
much space we have and plugging it into the right method call. We still
have a lesser bug of "message truncated", but that's far more manageable.
