The labels (such as "Welcome") that print in the upper right corner of the Anaconda window can be truncated. This occurs when using some locale other than English, and the localized string to display there is longer than the English version. The displayed localized version is truncated to the length of the English version. For example, I am seeing (in German) the Welcome string labeled with "Willkom", which should be "Willkommen" Suggested fix - calculate length of this string using the localized version, by changing the anaconda-7.0/text.py lines: self.screen.drawRootText (0 - len(step[0]), 0, _(step[0])) to be instead self.screen.drawRootText (0 - len(_(step[0])), 0, _(step[0])) This still results in multibyte strings being left indented too far, but that's much less of an issue than truncation.
