Dropdown filter and dashboard widget column are too narrow for Czech

[pavelevap]

As you can see on attached pictures, there are problems with styling for non-english version of WordPress.

Ad Czech_1.png - this problem on Dashboard was not in WP 2.8.x but is in latest trunk.

Ad Czech_2.png - this problem appears on many dropdown menus in administration. Fields are limited for original english terms, but translated terms are sometimes longer.

Given this is UI related, What Browser, Browser Version, and Platform have you tested this on? (ie. which one was that screenshot taken under?)

[pavelevap]

Sorry, I forgot to mention browsers.

First problem is related only to IE8 (FF 3.5.x is OK), but the second problem is visible in all browsers (IE8 and FF 3.5.x).

CSS changes for wide i18n'd strings in admin panels

czech-style-fix.diff adds white-space: nowrap; rule to the problematic "a" element in Dashboard "Right Now" widget.

It also adjusts the width of "select" elements on wp-admin/edit.php.

Tested on Windows IE 7, IE 8, FF 3.5 + Mac Firefox 3.5, and Sarafi 4.

Just a general note: FF3 still accounts for about 30% of FF users, so we should test that as well as 3.5 (FF2 is only around 1%).

Tested in FF3.0 — looks fine. Seems like low-impact CSS.

Great, it works fine.

But I noticed one other small problem. When you look at first picture, numbers (of posts, tags, etc.) should be aligned to the right, I guess? It worked well in WP 2.8.6.

Replying to pavelevap:

Can't reproduce in trunk (r12374). This should be aligning it right. Can you confirm it is left-aligned on your localized install?

126	#dashboard_right_now td.b {
127	        padding-right: 6px;
128	        text-align: right;
129	        font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", "Bitstream Charter", Times, serif;
130	        font-size: 14px;
131	}

Sorry, I forgot to mention that this problem also appears only using IE8 (FF etc. are OK).

[nacin]

Okay, I can confirm the behavior in IE6 and IE7. IE8 works fine though.

It's because of:

#dashboard_right_now td.first,
#dashboard_right_now td.last {
	width: 1px;
}

Trying to think of a solution, but not sure if its worth it if it only affects IE6 and IE7. Can you double-check your browser version? I'm running 8.0.6001.18702 on XP SP3.

[pavelevap]

Yes, I am using IE8 (8.0.6001.18865) on Vista Business.
