Container Dropdown - Cropped

Anonymous — Wed, 07 Nov 2012 14:37:26 GMT

I have used the container object to present a cleaner look to our reports, to make best use of screen real-estate I have used the dropdown at top option, unfortunately when using the IE Plugin it seems to crop the dropdown selection list to the length of the current selection (please see attached screen).

I know the dropdown is formatted OK for Ajax client but a majority of our users have the IE plugin, does anybody have any suggestions?

Maybe you can spaces to the end of the title of the chart to make it longer...

It's probably working as developed so you'll probably have to do some sorta lame work around.

Already tried adding spaces and it seems to crop them off also, only way to get round this was to type 25 spaces and then an additional text character, which is very lame. I can't believe it's working as expected,
unless the expectation that every dropdown value will be the exact same length?

Hi.

You could add another invisible symbol, not space (try something with holding alt + code on additional numpad).

QV usually corps only spaces.

Nice idea but it still keeps the dropdown the same length as the label, for example Daily then becomes Dail... and you still have the same cropping issue as before.
