Bulk metadata search replace test result issue

[george borton]

While testing regex results in the bulk data search replace dialog, the "test result" field has shrunk to the length of about 10 characters and the "Test text" has stretched to the right to fill most of the screen. Resizing the window has no affect on the "test result" field but the "test text" field scales appropriately. There does not appear to be the ability to manually (with a mouse) resize these fields and a system restart failed to fix the issue.

This is caused by having put a very long value in the test field, which is saved in the dropdown box.

Fix submitted.

You can work around the problem by putting short values into the test box until the long value(s) scroll off the bottom.

Fixed in branch lp:calibre. The fix will be in the next release. calibre is usually released every Friday.
