Description Petr Rockai 2006-04-26 13:54:59 UTC
Note to self: do not forget about this issue in devel, examine the 
int->unsigned changes more closely and check for other possible regressions 
introduced by this change.

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #185950 +++

Description of problem:
If Polish locale selected as system locale, the authconfig-tui presents no
useful screen on console. It consists only of blue bkg and movement tips at 
the
very last row of the screen (localized strings). However authconfig-tui 
reacts
on movement keys pressed ie. space, ESC or F12.
If it is run with C locale it presents full workable screen.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
authconfig-5.2.2-1

How reproducible:
After fresh install with no graphic desktops/X, when firstboot invokes
authconfig via setup or
on every run as root on console/xterm with Polish locale set.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Fresh install with no X/Desktop and set Polish locale as system one, then
allow firstboot to invoke setup and authconfig. OR
2.Run it from command line or throuh setup tools on console/xterm as root.
  
Actual results:
Only unusable blue screen.

Expected results:
Usable screen with options to check/uncheck to set up authentication of the 
system.

Seems to be a newt toolkit problem as it works fine with the same 
authconfig
version on FC-4.

Workaround - make the terminal window wider.

Hmm??? Make a terminal window wider.... But it also happens in bare 
console
outside xterm.. It happens during firstboot in text mode. Setting higher 
VGA
mode in console doesn't help.

This is a problem that's turned up in the text parts of the installer 
(ethernet
device screen, partitioning screen), firstboot, and various configuration 
tools.
 What we've determined matches up with what Tomas says - the text is too 
large
for the terminal, so newt simply doesn't draw the dialog on the screen.  
This is
a regression from FC4.

Attached is a reproducer in python for this bug.  Make sure your terminal 
is
under 200 columns.  Note that we can't resize the console, so this is a big
problem for us.

#!/usr/bin/python

from snack import *

li = Listbox(5, returnExit = 1)
li.append("a"*200, "f")
screen = SnackScreen()
g = Grid(1, 3)
g.setField(li, 0, 1, (0, 1, 0, 1))
g.place(1, 1)
screen.gridWrappedWindow(g, "title")
f = Form("This is some help")
f.add(li)
res = f.run()
screen.popWindow()
screen.finish()

Thanks Tom for the patch. An updated newt resolving this issue has been 
pushed to fc5 updates.
