Description Corey Marthaler 2005-02-24 21:54:45 UTC

Description of problem:
I attempted to delete a fence device which was being used by all the
nodes in the cluster and the warning which popped up said it only had
only one dependancy. It took me a second to realize that the warning
message was really a scroll box full of all the nodes dependant on
this device, but only displayed the one. A simple text list would be
far more intuitive since it would display all of them and since
nothing in there is selectable anyway.

will fix

Comment 2 Jim Parsons 2005-03-28 11:24:28 UTC

Fixed in 0.9.17-1.0

Comment 3 Corey Marthaler 2005-04-18 18:36:47 UTC

It's still just a scroll box, which displays 5 items (nodes). So when I have 6+
nodes in my cluster, I don't see all the dependancies when deleting the fence
device. This is a pretty low priority request, but I don't think it'd be too
hard to do it right.

Comment 4 Jim Parsons 2005-04-28 14:08:13 UTC

The reason to use a scroll box, is when the size of text or a list to be
displayed is variable.

From the GNOME HIG:
"Often an object (such as a document or a list) will not be fit within the
confines of its viewer control. In these cases a scrollbar can be affixed to the
viewer control. The scrollbar alters which part of the object is currently
visible inside the viewer control: it slides the view across the object in one
axis (horizontal or vertical)."

I do not believe that setting the size of the display area dependent on the size
of the list to be displayed, as on a 50+ node cluster, the display area will
grow beyond the height of the screen for typical resolutions. I am setting the
size of the display area larger in closing this bug again, but strongly believe
that scrollbars is the correct solution here.

BTW, expanded display area is in 0.9.42

fix verified.
