[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #53642] Release Notes are truncated when displayed in the GUI

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #53642 (project octave):

The fix is likely to be in libgui/src/main-window.cc.  The code in question
is:


  void main_window::display_release_notes (void)
  {
    if (! m_release_notes_window)
      {
        std::string news_file = config::oct_etc_dir () + "/NEWS";

        QString news;

        QFile *file = new QFile (QString::fromStdString (news_file));
        if (file->open (QFile::ReadOnly))
          {
            QTextStream *stream = new QTextStream (file);
            news = stream->readAll ();
            if (! news.isEmpty ())
              {
                news.prepend ("<pre>");
                news.append ("</pre>");
              }
            else
              news = (tr ("The release notes file '%1' is empty.")
                      . arg (QString::fromStdString (news_file)));
          }
        else
          news = (tr ("The release notes file '%1' cannot be read.")
                  . arg (QString::fromStdString (news_file)));

        m_release_notes_window = new QWidget;

        QTextBrowser *browser = new QTextBrowser (m_release_notes_window);
        browser->setText (news);


Either QTextStream is interpreting the file as HTML or QTextBrowser is.
