[IUG] WebOPAC--WHY ARE OUR TITLES BEING CUT OFF?

["Leslie O'Brien" <lobrien at vt dot edu>]

Melodie, we reported a problem with OPAC displays that is similar to your 
situation.  In a briefcit display, title and author data is truncated in 
the middle of a word.  We've had a call open to III since July 
2005.  According to our call status, a software fix has been coded and will 
be in the 2007 release.  Our call will remain open until the fix is in 
general distribution.

Along with the truncation problem, we noticed that our subfield displays 
were not correct--245 subfields |b, |c, |h, etc. are not displayed in the 
correct order.  Now that we are on release 2006, our subfield displays look 
better than they did, but the truncation problem is still there.  I'd be 
interested to know if you noticed the same thing in your briefcit view.

I just noticed that in the title browse displays our titles are being cut 
off after a certain number of characters - I'm thinking that I must have 
done something wrong when I did some noodling with the extended and brief 
display wwwoptions.

Here is what I am talking about:

results 7 and 8 are examples

Before I call Innovative I thought I would check here and see if anyone 
(inadvertently) ran into this.  Thanks!
