Always show tooltip with full text if text is truncated

[ripcurlx]

To improve usability for languages which don't have a compact way of expression (e.g. French) truncated text should automatically cause an Tooltip to be shown on Rollover with the full text.

OMG, I tried exactly to fix this problem on the last week on my own project and didn't find any simple straightforward solution similar to this one with textedit promptext, also was introduced by me some time ago ;)

Maybe with overriding the handling of the ellipsisString it could work? E.g. we use our extended version of Label/TextField and when usually the ellipsisString is shown we adjust the behavior to show a tooltip. Have not looked into it if it is feasible...

I am always tried to solve such problems without need to extend JavaFX standard components, with this step it became possible - there are some receipts on StackOverflow, but more fragile and more difficult to support.

[ripcurlx]

Yes, I also think it won't be a nice solution, but I could also live with a hack, if everyone can read what we have to say in any language ;-)

[ripcurlx]

Actually, if find it kind of strange that this is not supported out-of-the-box by javafx.

[ManfredKarrer]

Yes thats a weak part of JavaFX. Flash/Flex had that even >10 years ago...

Will be released as soon as UI-improvement branch goes live

Hey @ripcurlx, please don't close issues like this until code is actually on master. We never know what's going to happen, the UI-improvements branch might not get merged, there might be a delay, etc. Like I just mentioned in #1092 (comment), it's better to have a tracking issue like this that keeps us aware that work is not finished until code is on master and ready to ship in the next release.

This sort of thing, by the way, is part of the reason for the plan to do away with all feature/topic branches in the bisq-network/exchange repository (#1190) . Can discuss more fully elsewhere.

[ripcurlx]

ok - will keep it that way with all other issues.

[ripcurlx]

Closing as complete.
