Unable to see whole path when creating file with very long path/name and dashes

[adamreisnz]

Try creating a new file (or duplicating/renaming one), and type a very long name into the dialog box (e.g. some/path/my-very-very-long-filename-to-test-this-issue).

You will notice that once the text reaches the end of the box, you cannot see the end of the filename anymore. Moving left/right/up/down with arrows doesn't help. Only pressing space seems to trigger the display of the end of the filename.

Would you mind attaching a screen capture of this behavior? I can't seem to reproduce this with OS X 10.10.3 and Atom 0.208.0-c06d62e, but I want to make sure I'm looking for the right thing.

[adamreisnz]

Yes, sure thing. Can you recommend a decent screen grabber? I tried Gifgrabber earlier, but it was rather obnoxious...

I'm on OS X 10.10.3 as well, but Atom 0.207.

@AdamBuczynski You can try LICEcap (which is what I usually use)

[adamreisnz]

As you can notice, when the filename becomes too long, without spaces/slashes, it doesn't move the view to the "right" to see where you're typing. When using spaces, it does.

+1. @adambuczynski Have you solved this somehow?

[adamreisnz]

Sorry no I haven't.
@mnquintana could you update the status from more info needed to bug or do you still need more information?

[williamboman]

@adambuczynski Which themes do you use? This seems to be a pretty isolated issue.

[adamreisnz]

That screen cap was with the Atom Dark theme (comes bundled with Atom).

[adamreisnz]

In the One Dark theme, the input box turns to multi line, which is a neat solution:

Maybe the Atom Dark theme can adopt this as well. Is there a issues repository for that specific theme?
