Filelist, tab mouseover is apt to be "ugly" -file-list filelist:

Post by therube »

Filelist, tab mouseover is apt to be (rather) "ugly", -file-list filelist:


mouseover on a Tab of a filelist entry is apt to be "ugly" (slow to load, displaying the
pale yellow frame, before the text fills in)
[& more so obviously in particular on a long filelist]
(depending on system, "long" could be ~2500 char Search bar text, ~8000 char
.efu, as the .efu contain more data then "just" the file name; size, date...)

that said, the information provided is worthwhile (easier to decipher then from the
searchbar itself


similarly, the (-file-list) Search bar text may or may not display ? or may take an extended
time to actually display

Thanks for bringing this issue to my attention therube,

It's the word wrapping feature of the stock tooltip.
It is ridiculously slow..
It gets exponentially slower with more characters.
There is currently a cap of 4095 characters.

I will cap the tip length to 1023 characters in the next update.

I will also fix an issue with the tab title text not rendering when the search is really long.

Everything 1.5.0.1386a will now truncate the tooltip to 1023 characters.

Really long tab titles are now truncated to 32767 characters.



The search box displaying nothing is out of my control.
There's a limit of about 8000 characters before the stock edit control shows nothing.

I have on my TODO list to make my own edit control.
Use filelist slots to avoid the issue.
