For some reason here, the Category title is not showing in the grey search box at the top (it just says "Category: ")

I think it's a skin issue since it's in the source.

... What does one do with this then?

This is the result of the fix to that.

#search_options {
    max-width: 80px;
    overflow: hidden;
    padding: 0 6px;
    text-overflow: ellipsis;
}

being the most relevant CSS.

coming back to this... i think the wisest move could be simply removing

Category:

From the contextual search there.

It is definitely a skin issue, yes. There's a max width and overflow hidden, so what happens is the category name is pushed below the gray box and then hidden. Even removing "Category:" won't fix this entirely, as longer categories may still overflow. Will find a better fix.

It looks like if you remove the max-width then everything is fine.

In FF 14 anyway.

Eh, nevermind. It's not that perfect.

Once you go beyond that it messes up the skin.

But who has category names longer than that? Increasing the max-width seemed fine too.

I still think truncating is the best option like I said in the initial bug report that marcher linked.

Who uses resolutions lower than that is more the question.... 2 variables at play here, viewing width, and category name length... have fun Farber

Don't do it. Unless we can change the word category on a per database basis like we can change the word record.

what point is there to show it when any size of a string worth anything will ALWAYS be an issue.
think of it like this... would you truly want the full forum name in contextual search? would anybody?

...actually I would. Hehe...Not the place to discuss it though. We can duke it out on skype.

Updating Fixed In to: 2.3.3
Updating Status to: Fixed

Going with "this category" and "this database". Sorry, but the skin limitations kind of necessitate a short string that will be reliably consistent in size and fit within the max width allowed.
