In this development log, we investigate some text-based UI bugs encountered by [Fuzzbot](https://docs.cwtch.im/docs/contribute/testing#running-fuzzbot), add more [automated UI tests](/blog/cwtch-testing-i) to the pipeline, and announce a new release of the Cwtchbot library.

## Constraining Cwtch UI Fields
|
|
|
|
Fuzzbot identified a few bugs relating to UI layout and text clipping. Certain strings would violate the bounds of their containers and overlap with other UI elements. While this
|
|
doesn't pose a safety issue, it is unsightly.
|

|
|
|
|
These cases were fixed by parenting impacted elements in a `Container` with `clip: hardEdge` and `decoration:BoxDecoration()` (note that both of these are required as Container widgets in Flutter cannot set clipping logic
|
|
without an associated decoration).

|
|
|
|
These fixes are available in the [latest Cwtch Nightly](/docs/contribute/testing#cwtch-nightlies), and will be officially released in Cwtch 1.11.

## More Automated UI Tests
|
|
|
|
We have added two new sets of automated UI tests to our pipeline:
|
|
|
|
- *02: Global Settings* - these tests check that certain global settings like languages, theme, unknown contacts blocking, and streamer mode work as expected. ([PR: 628](https://git.openprivacy.ca/cwtch.im/cwtch-ui/pulls/628))
|
|
- *04: Profile Management* - these tests check that creating, unlocking, and deleting a profile work as expected. ([PR: 632](https://git.openprivacy.ca/cwtch.im/cwtch-ui/pulls/632))
|
|
|
|
## New Release of Cwtchbot
|
|
|
|
[Cwtchbot](https://git.openprivacy.ca/sarah/cwtchbot) has been updated to use the latest Cwtch 0.18.10 API.
|
