Description leena.shah 2002-09-03 18:00:18 UTC 
I am using the truncateNicely Tag with a lower limit of 110 and upper of 130. 
It works fine except for strings whose length falls in the range between the 
two. I have a string "The PowerStar 4600 is a state of the art departmental 
server providing high availability and excellent data protection." which is of 
120 characters. Since it cannot find a space, it tries to get the substring 
using the upper index which doesnt exist for that string and hence I get an out 
of range exception.

Tim Kettering has provided a patch to fix this [the initial code is his though he's not a 
committer yet]. It's committed as of 5 minutes ago and will go into the nightly build tonight.
