Alas in current mac user interface the box for the Title in the Synopsis box is hard to see.
If I start a synopsis with a paste, I can paste in this box. The box will only show the first line of what I pasted, but the entire paste is present. This first line also is the only thing that shows in the binder.
This can show up in getting project search results where you cannot find the sought after item in the files.
Better behaviour: Truncate pastes into the Synopsis title box, to some reasonable, possibly user configureable number, or first hard or soft line end, which ever ocmes first.
Iām not sure thatās a bug. While Synopses of a very short sentence length are useful, often they are larger, and there are other places where you can see the complete synopsis in question, like the Corkboard view.
The title of the synopsis should be the chapter/scene/object name it is referring to in the first place.
The Title and the Synopsis are separate and independent fields.
If you paste a Synopsis into a document with no Title, Scrivener will use the Synopsis to autofill a placeholder. But this isnāt the ārealā title and for instance will not show up as the Title in a Compiled document.
If you paste a lengthy piece of text into the Title field, Scrivener will do what you told it to and honor that request. After all, there are actual books with chapter titles like:
Three Invalids. - Sufferings of George and Harris. - A victim to one hundred and seven fatal maladies. - Useful prescriptions. - Cure for liver complaint in children. - We agree that we are overworked, and need rest. - A week on the rolling deep? - George suggests the river. - Montmorency lodges an objection. - Original motion carried by majority of three to one
(Jerome K. Jerome, Three Men in a Boat, Chapter 1)
Who are we to say that you canāt do that?
So the āsolutionā is to decide whether the text you are pasting is intended to be a chapter title. If it isnāt, donāt put it in the Title field.
The Outliner view, by the way, is a best tool for checking for accidental multi-line pastes into the Title field, as it will word wrap by default. Make sure that View āø Outliner Options āø Use Fixed Row Height is off, for obvious reasons.
If you also have it set to show Synopsis, you can also fix the problem easily with:
Esc to open editing on the row with the bad title. This starts with the full ātitleā selected.
Press āX to cut the text.
Enter to advance from the title field (leaving it blank for now, but you could type something in as well if youād rather it not be driven by the synopsis everywhere else), and then āV to paste.
