Description

When entering a public profile for AIM, you are able to enter text past the 1KiB limit. Currently, an error will pop up and the text will be auto-truncated. There should be a form of visual warning when typing to insure against loss of text by accident. At the very least, it tells you GAIM truncates, not Adium/AIM.

This seems pretty minor, especially with the larger limit (who the hell is going to put 3k of text in their profile?). I don't think this needs fixing in the 1.0 timeframe.

CFM: 3KB of Unicode isn't a lot. :)

11/12/2005 09:01:25 AM changed by evands

  • summary changed from Profile Entrance Screen and Truncation to Profile Entrance Screen and Truncation [Poor Error Message].

At the least, we need to fix our error messages in the situations where Gaim is providing error text -- most users have (and should have) no idea was Gaim is.

  • severity changed from normal to critical.

We could do the same thing we do in the "add link..." window in this instance. I'd like to see this addressed in 1.2, but it's not a blocker.

  • milestone changed from Adium X 1.2 to Sometime after 1.0.
