Table Combo List Too Narrow

[Mitch]

The list of tables in the combo box is too narrow. I can only see the name of the database and the first few letters of the table name. This is not enough to tell which table is which. See attachment.

Please tell the program version you are using. With recent versions the “unfolded” dropdown will be wider. Please see image.

This was changed in 8.7. Release notes tell:

Quote:

“When updating from RESULT tab we will now handle the database context automatically. The database context as selected by user is not used. Note that this applies to MySQL 4.1+ server and when not using HTTP-tunnel (as pre-4.1 MySQL and PHP do not expose the database in the result set).”

At that time we added the database to the string dispalayed here so that it it displays 'database.table'. This is required to execute UPDATES against the right database independent of user's selection of database context. Is it the problem that the databasename consumes too much space? If so I think we can consider to hide “database.” from the display here (only hide from the display – internally we will need the 'fully qualified tablename'

I have added this to our issuetracker here: http://code.google.com/p/sqlyog/issues/detail?id=1621

Additionally we find that the 'unfolded' dropdown in Wine does not behave as it should and does in Windows. This we are checking now.

I am running version 8.81 under Wine.
