Due to my notation I can have large ID number for persons.
So, where is the width of the Person Editor ID field defined in the Gramps sources? I would like to widen it.
Thank you!

I changed mine to 10 that is how I knew where to find it so quickly.
Did you remember to restart Gramps after making the change?
Now I am not so sure what is happening. I changed mine back to â6â with no change occurring.
You may also need to change âwidth-requestâ. I think these two interact somewhat. And you may also have to make the overall dialog larger to make room for the longer line. Getting these dialogs to behave well and fit nicely is sometimes frustrating, as the various widgets can be resized by other factors, and unless the various âexpandâ and âfillâ values on each widget and the enclosing widgets are set right, Gtk will sometimes ignore the settings.
Oh, it is not necessary to restart Gramps when editing the glade files, only to close/reopen the Gui element that the glade file is defining, in this case the person editor.
Thatâs cool !
I tried to change both values without any effect but somethingâs done when using fill=true property:
Itâs not perfect, depending person is tagged or not but it works better:
Thank you both !
Now you need to remember this hack of the code because when you install the next version release it is back to square one.
I store some private notes about hack patches and configuration. I go so far as to add the hacked module as media object. This allows me to quickly open the impacted module & reapply the patch.
I understand that there are tools for such configuration management. I just donât have the free bandwidth to learn something that Iâll have to re-learn each time because of the long intervals between use.
