Powertoys: Multi line text in Powertoys Run

[ismaelestalayo]

Environment

Windows build number: Versión 10.0.19041.264
PowerToys version: v0.18.1
PowerToy module for which you are reporting the bug (if applicable): Run

Steps to reproduce

Search for a program with a long name that takes multiple lines. (The Telegram app from the screenshot is the desktop app, not the one from the store)

Expected behavior

I think the program name should be cut wrapping the word and adding three dots at the end, instead of this glitchy look of the screenthot.

Actual behavior

Two lines of text are shown, but the first one is cut in half horizontally.

@ismaelestalayo I couldn't repro this issue because I don't think you can add multi-line description to files. Could you please help with how did you install the program with multi-line issue?

I haven't been able to repro on my Surface either (this is happening on my desktop). But I opened the containing folder of that 2º Telegram link, and I found out it's in the "Commentary" field:

I've tried setting another app with a long commentary as well, but I guess for that to update PowerRun should index that file again.

Also: that Telegram shorcut with the long commentary hasn't been modified since October 2018, so it's probably from either an old Telegram update or an old Telegram install:

(upper window contains the old Telegram shorcut, while the lower window "Telegram Desktop" folder contains the up to date shorcut with the uninstaller shorcut as well).

@ismaelestalayo Can you please provide following information as well

1. What is windows build number for your surface and Desktop?
2. What happens when you update another app with long commentary? Please try using the same string from commentary in telegram autolink shortcut. You can restart powertoys from powertoys settings to reindex programs.

@ismaelestalayo any chance you can respond here?

[ismaelestalayo]

sorry @somil55 @crutkas I was on my finals week 😅

Anyhow, here are my Windows builds:

• Desktop: 19041.329 (v 2004)
• Surface Book 2: 18363.900 (v 1909)

I added two large strings in the commentary section of the other 2 Telegram results:

• I added "Test1 test2 test3. Lets try setting a long comment in this field." to the "Telegram Desktop" app
• and the original "you can disable autorun in Telegram Settings." to the uninstaller "Desinstalar Telegram".

But after reindexing a few times last week (and even one today), I haven't been able to repro that same bug as the Commentary is not shown on the other two results.
