Affected versions

  • 71.0a1 (2019-10-02), 70.0b11, 69.0.2, 68.1esr,

Affected platforms

  • Windows 10, macOS, Ubuntu 16.04;

Steps to reproduce

  1. Launch Firefox, access any webpage, open the DevTools inspector - Network tab, access any webpage, ex: Wikipedia;
  2. Right click on any request from the list;
  3. Click on the Block URL option;
  4. Grab the browser and decrease width;

Expected result

  • Blocked by DevTools text is visible;

Actual result

  • text is truncated + ellipsis are added;

Enhancement suggestion

  • have the Blocked by DevTools text be contained by Type/Transfered/Size columns;
  • if the text would expand and be contained by the 2 adjacent column there would be more available space and the text would get truncated later;

Regression range

  • not a regression;

Additional notes

  • attached screenshot with the section;
  • resize of the Transferred column also affects this info_text;

Thanks for the report!

I am unsure whether we should/can span a label across multiple columns.
E.g. what should happen if the user customizes the columns and hides Type and Size?

Was unaware that you can even do that(show/hide columns).
With the columns hidden the issue would still be the same when the text needs to be truncated.

Having the column expand until the text is visible would break the consistency with the other columns.
As another counter-argument, it would be that this information is limited to the status of the request: blocked/cached/data.
So having it span over multiple columns would show the wrong information for those 2 or any other column.

I think we can close this, since the current format is good after all & Transferred column is consistent with the other ones.
