Event ID is Truncated/Cut Off and Not Fully Visible in WME Event Panel

Is this a…:
Standard bug
Steps to reproduce this issue:
Clear Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open WME
  2. Click on the Events button
  3. Select any event from the list
  4. Look at the top left of the Event details panel.
  5. Notice it is incomplete, with … at the end.

Expected Behavior:
The full Event ID should be displayed and easily visible to the editor, so it can be copied and used for scripts or other bulk operations. I would presume that since you display it (or at least part of it) you saw value in doing so, but since it’s cut off, it doesn’t help editors.

Actual Behavior:
The displayed Event ID is truncated or cut off (partially obscured) and cannot be read entirely without opening the browser’s developer console. This forces editors who need the full ID to perform extra steps, such as using the console. This significantly slows down tasks like mass-entry of closures (in this case, for approximately 188 closures). It should be fully visible, allowing a simple select and copy.

For the example event, you only show
1.1.a9d59328-9ce4-401c-91ff-09866…
The actual event ID is
1.1.a9d59328-9ce4-401c-91ff-09866989ad2c
When using WME FU Memorial Edition script I can see a few more characters but still not all.
1.1.a9d59328-9ce4-401c-91ff-09866989

Recommend fixing the bug to display the full event ID, or allowing a way to click it and select the entire event ID without having to go into console.

Hello @TxAgBQ,

Thank you for flagging this issue. It has been reported internally and I will keep you posted on the progress.
I’d usually check the Network tab (not sure if this is easier but just an alternative to try in the meantime):

*Just in case someone looking at this bug was not aware of an easier way to copy the ID: double-clicking also works and copies the whole bit.

Take care and regards,
Olesya

Thank you for adding this copy button!!!
