Binder Object Title Length Limit?

[Randall_Lee_Reetz]

Appears there is a limit to the number of chars Scrivener will allow for Binder object titles? As a learning exercise, I was playing around with building a Scrivener project of the book, ADVENTURES OF HUCKLEBERRY FINN, and discovered that Twain’s chapter titles get truncated. Is there a way to adjust this?

Has zero to do with binder width. This seems to be a hard limit?

The title…
I. Civilizing Huck.—Miss Watson.—Tom Sawyer Waits.
… shows up in its entirety.

The title…
II. The Boys Escape Jim.—Torn Sawyer’s Gang.—Deep-laid Plans.
… is truncated to…
II. The Boys Escape Jim.—Torn Sawyer’s Gang.—Deep-…

This is independent of binder column width, The same trucated title shows up as the doc title in the editor…

But it keeps getting weirder…

I can add text to these document titles, without issue (they don’t get truncated in the binder). But somewhere along the way Scrivener auto-truncated these document titles.

My workflow…

1. I started with a .txt file of a Gutenberg Project download of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.
2. I used Scrivener’s Import/Import and Split…, and specified the Split into Sections… option.
3. The resulting project contained binder documents for every chapter in the TOC, and for every actual chapter (with full text).
4. The TOC documents had the full chapter titles, the text documents only had roman numeral numbering with the "CHAPTER " prefix.
5. I copied the TOC document titles into the text document titles. (this is where the auto-truncating of the titles happened).

What can I do to prevent this auto-truncating of doc titles from happening?

Are they actually being truncated, or is the space in the Binder inadequate to show them?

There is a limit, but it’s quite large. I’ve helped people who accidentally put multiple paragraphs in their document titles.

when you click on the document look at the title in the editor window. You will see the full title there and again limited by the display space. But everything in the title should be searchable. I try to keep titles short so can see in a narrower binder window and add extra info in the synopsis or inspector notes.
