Hello,

I have remarked both in Window and in Linux (rev 2573 and 256x) that in the Start Page under Recent Projects I have:

Quote
•
/home/michael/project/ConsoleTest/ConsoleTest.cbp

The point on one line and the path of the project/workspace on another one.

Before, I did not have such "problem".

Best wishes,
Michael

Because before there was no "bullet point" :)
Now that it's there, the line text is a bit longer and doesn't fit on the same line.

That's the result of my patch. I wanted something like a list (with dots), but unfortunately using
<ul>
  <li>item</li>
  <li>item</li>
</ul>
produce a bad looking space between adiacent list items, even if there's no <br> between them.
So i tried to manually put a dot ( "&bull;" ) to resemble a list, but i see that neither this works... i can try to break any long path string so you won't get that thing... or remove completely that dot  :)

EDIT: Or we can use <li></li> without a <ul> element, that should work... let me try..

Hello,

Ok, I understand. Thanks for the reply :). I have thought about a too long text line, but as it worked fine the day before, I have thought of a small bug.

Best wishes,
Michael

Ok, resolved, it was just a matter of a \n that became a <br> for no reason.

Now you see why i wanted a list...

here's my new patch:
