MySQL Bugs: #28126: Error Message Cut off

Bug #28126	Error Message Cut off
Submitted:	26 Apr 2007 22:14	Modified:	26 May 2009 11:54
Reporter:	Roger Filmyer	Email Updates:
Status:	Unsupported	Impact on me:	None
Category:	MySQL Administrator	Severity:	S3 (Non-critical)
Version:	1.2.11	OS:	MacOS
Assigned to:		CPU Architecture:	Any
Tags:	cropped., cut off, error, error message

Description:
When trying to connect to a server, an error came up (I later realized it was because I did not add my hostname to the user, but that's besides the point) . Unfortunately, the error message was completely blocked out because of a fairly long domain name and a host name, so that none of the error message was actually seen.

How to repeat:
Connect to a mysql host, but make sure that the total amount of characters in the server's url and your hostname combine to a decent size (mine was 63). 
Make sure that you can not completely connect (like you forgot to add your host to a user or suck)
You will not be able to see the complete error message.

Suggested fix:
If the OS X API allows it, try to make the error message box expandable via a scroll bar or allow the error box to expand with the message.

Thank you for the report.

Verified as described.

Many thanks for writing a bug report. We are on the way to implement full functionality of MySQL Administrator into MySQL Workbench. Unfortunately you are using an unsupported platform. More informations about supported platforms you will find here:
