Hmmm... the fact we closed 0010116 and did not implement this "feature" is a clear indication that is extremely likely we won't implement it. This use case is too marginal and can already be accomplished in story editor. |

jghali, I see. I'm still new to this so I apologize. The last note by cbradney was a little ambiguous: "Not done.. 2nd overflow icon.. to do, maybe, one day. check r16845" so I wasn't sure and made the decision to repost this. I would of added a note but the issue was closed and i had no permissions for that. |

There is something that could be usefully added jghali ; the bubble hint text (appearing on hover) could state : - how many glyphs are left outside the frame (as is now done) - how many NON-BLANK or NON-SPACES glyphs are outside the frame (excluding spaces and line returns and tabs etc). It happens quite often that there is just a couple of linefeeds in the overflow text, and the consequence for the layout work is very different then when there is even only one printing glyph ! So the hint text could become : "200 characters are overflowing (134 non-blank)" |

Easyhack about this report is to enrich the hint bubble as proposed in previous comment http://bugs.scribus.net/view.php?id=11847#c30876 |

this is implemented in http://bugs.scribus.net/view.php?id=12332 |

Hint text has been extended with the number of white space. Great : it's usefull as it enables to compute the number of non-white space. However i wonder why the result is not directly mentionned in the hint : only the number of non-white spaces is interesting for layout purposes - not the number of white spaces. Am i missing something ? |
