[Update] Whiptail allocates good space for tag and strings
Expected results: When longer strings, whiptail should cut the strings tail and make it look like the other one. Now it put more space between "tag" and "item strings". My 2 cents. Thanks. Steven Thanks for the report. This should be now fixed in upstream git and it will get to Fedora when the next release is made. https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/newt.git/commit/?id=10bbfd2837eb5ad87416ed2a648231a2a9b7c6fc newt-0.52.20-1.fc26 has been submitted as an update to Fedora 26. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2017-8cabee1dba newt-0.52.20-1.fc26 has been pushed to the Fedora 26 testing repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. See https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Updates_Testing for instructions on how to install test updates.
