Description Carlos Rodrigues 2004-11-27 14:41:22 UTC

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5)

Description of problem:
Some text in the detailed view of rhgb is impossible to read because
it is overridden by other text.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.When booting, click "show details"
2.watch
    

Actual Results:  Some text can't be read, because some other text is
written over it.

For example, it ends up like this:
   "INIT: Entering runlevel: 5quotas  [ OK ]"


Additional info:

This does not occur when booting without rhgb.

This is rhgb-0.16.1-1.FC3

Comment 1 Daniel Veillard 2004-11-27 14:48:50 UTC
It's not overriden. The first service started "quota"
shows up on the same line as 
  "INIT: Entering runlevel: 5"
message.
There is no loss of information. This is at best a formatting 
nitpick. Very low priority.

Comment 2 Carlos Rodrigues 2004-11-27 16:27:28 UTC
I don't agree. If you switch to detailed view quick enough, you will
see that there is some text that disappears when the "INIT: ..." line
is written (it looks like that happens twice, some text is overriden
by other text, and then the "INIT" line comes along and overrides that
second text).

Comment 3 Carlos Rodrigues 2004-11-29 02:13:37 UTC
Ok, I've confirmed it. The following text is all written to the same line:

Mounting local filesystems:        [ OK ]
Mounting filesystem quotas:        [ OK ]
Enabling swap space:               [ OK ]
INIT: Entering runlevel: 5

The text that is overwritten is by no means critical, however, nothing
guarantees that other text may not be affected by this same problem.

Comment 4 Barry K. Nathan 2004-11-29 07:38:05 UTC
If I'm not mistaken, rhgb uses vte to display text. IIRC there's at
least one text corruption bug fixed in fc-devel's vte. It would be
interesting to know if the problem still happens with that version of vte.

Comment 5 Carlos Rodrigues 2004-11-29 22:09:34 UTC
I installed vte-0.11.11-15 and the problem remains.

Comment 6 Matthew Miller 2006-07-10 21:41:15 UTC
Fedora Core 3 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security
updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and
reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and
hasn't been resolved in the current FC5 updates or in the FC6 test
release, reopen and change the version to match.

Thank you!


Comment 7 Pat Gunn 2006-07-13 18:38:41 UTC
Still an issue in FC5. Bugzilla won't let me change the bug to point at FC3

Comment 8 Pat Gunn 2006-07-13 18:39:41 UTC
Oops, I mean it won't let me change the version

Comment 9 Matthew Miller 2006-07-13 18:48:02 UTC
Thanks for checking. I'll update the version.

Comment 10 Matthew Miller 2006-07-13 18:48:54 UTC
clearing needinfo bit.

Comment 11 petrosyan 2008-03-10 05:22:57 UTC
Fedora Core 5 is no longer maintained. Is this bug still present in Fedora 8?

Comment 12 Ray Strode [halfline] 2008-03-18 18:33:58 UTC
Hi,

We no longer support Fedora Core 5 and I am currently trying to get my open bug
count down to a more manageable state.  I'm going to close this bug as WONTFIX.
 If this issue is still a concern for you, would you mind trying to reproduce on
a supported version of Fedora and reopening?
