Think about: What exciting things did you accomplish? What loose ends remain? Big questions? Big ideas?

• File dialog scrunches / truncates file names

  • The file dialog comes from @jupyterlab/filebrowser

  • It’s the same as the file browser on the left panel

    • The file browser on the left panel works perfectly!

  • We’re just using in a different context to display it as a modal

    • Maybe the context is the problem, and the file browser in the left panel depends on some CSS from a parent element to look correct?

  • Reproduction is inconsistent 🤯 🫠

    • Some people/browsers see ellipses, some people don’t

      • Sanjay sees ellipses in Firefox, no ellipses in Chrome

    • Some people see truncation, some people don’t

      • It doesn’t seem like truncation depends on the browser

    • It seems to have nothing to do with browser model or browser version

      • Matt (Ubuntu) was using Firefox 137, and it reproduced

      • Kristin (Mac) was using Firefox 138, and it did not reproduce

      • Matt upgraded to Firefox 138, and it did reproduce

      • Martin (Fedora) was using latest Firefox, and it did not reproduce

      • Sanjay (Mac) reproduced in Chrome & Firefox 137

      • Arjun (Mac) was using Chrome, unable to reproduce fully

        • Decreasing width of the file browser hides modified dates

        • But the filenames never get scrunched

      • Felipe (Mac) was using Safari & Firefox, and it reproduced

  • Fiddling around with styles sometimes helps, but hasn’t yet yielded a full solution where the dialog works exactly like the file browser in the left panel.

    • TODO: Sanjay to fill out some of the things he’s tried!

  • DID SANJAY ('s drunk AI companion) FIX IT ?!?!?!?!?!

    • How? ... TODO ...

      • Sanjay modified packages/base/source/style/dialog.css

        • In the main branch, there’s basically nothing in that file

• Were able to fix 🎉:

  • Symbology panel: color steps are not recovered properly after setting graduated radius - geojupyter/jupytergis#694 with geojupyter/jupytergis#700
