O.P. Text too wide in new toasts
When a contact has a name that is too long the name doesn't get truncated in the right spot and the ellipses appear over the text rather than after.  The reason for this is because the control LblContact in ToastPopupContactPic is set to a width wider than the toast.  To be consistent with the toast that does not have space for a DP it should be a width of 80 instead of 92.

RE: Text too wide in new toasts
Yeah, this has been reported before (several times in beta forum)

As yet it's not been dealt with, sounds like it's easy enough to fix though.

I'd also like to throw out there the idea of having the WLM 14/Vista border around the DP on the toasts in keeping with the whole feel of things

Ok, thanks.  Sometimes it would be nice to know what has been talked about in the beta forums so that duplicate threads aren't made here....

I agree, we've been seeing quite a few duplicate issues coming up....but then again it's only come as a result of the public beta...if there hadn't been so many people clamouring for a WLM 9/14 compatible version then most of these issues would have been ironed out by the public release.

Just something we've got to live with, but I'm sure Patchou would rather have a bug reported twice than not at all!

So if in doubt just post anyway (Y)

It happens a lot with script features and skins as well in normal releases.  Many limitations aren't discussed publicly these days it seems...  If you do a search for "beta forum" you'll see quite a few threads that get replies like this.
