Winform toolStrip Status Label shows nothing: is this a bug ?

Question

Have an instruction like this:

this.toolStripStatusLabel1.Text = 
      this.toolStripStatusLabel1.Text + "; OS=" +
      System.Environment.OSVersion.ToString();

If I concatenate OS with something that is more than 10 characters text is blank instead of being truncated. Is this a Bug ?

Answer 1

• Check your font size
• Ensure that the autosize is set to true
• As suggested by Henk, check width of the label

Answer 2

If you pause your program (place a breakpoint right after this happening), what does it say the text is? Empty, or is it still the complete string?

Btw, you can use += instead of repeating the name of the label.Text after the =-sign.
