Description Paulo Andrade 2022-02-11 13:27:19 UTC

Customer relies on behaviour of zenity 3.22. Or better saying,
requests revert of 
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/zenity/-/commit/3b64d05e8a1aae1581d2bec7288d80ac4699e1b1
[Fix message dialog width and height on recent Gtk]

  Customer is aware that "most" of the old behaviour can be get back
with the --no-wrap option, but they have a very large product, and
do not expect to need to review every usage of zenity.

  Please see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zenity and the Posix example.

  One extreme example is:

zenity --question  --text="`perl -e 'print \"abc \" x 512'`"

previously would not be great, as it would just create a full screen
window, but would correctly wrap the text. Now, in 3.28, it creates a
really tall window. The --no-wrap option does not help, as it will just
not wrap and create a very large window.

Comment 5 Andrey Loskutov 2022-02-14 10:48:01 UTC

Our original example wasn't that extreme at all, just look at it:

zenity --title "" --error --text='Cannot launch another application instance since there is already a running one!'

With new zenity it wraps every word to a new line, old one showed the sentence in one line, not wrapped at all

Comment 6 Tomas Popela 2022-06-15 10:51:14 UTC

@modehnal will you take look at this and grant qa_ack+?

Comment 8 Simeon Andreev 2022-06-16 05:58:12 UTC

Is the fix here already available on RHEL 9 (if so, after which RPM version)? Or there will also be a newer RPM for RHEL 9?

Comment 9 Michal Odehnal 2022-06-16 06:12:15 UTC

The fixed version in RHEL9 is zenity-3.32.0-8.el9

Comment 10 Tomas Popela 2022-06-16 06:35:35 UTC

For completeness here is the RHEL 8 bug - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2053530 and RHEL 9 bug - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2078712

Comment 11 Simeon Andreev 2022-06-16 06:43:03 UTC

Thanks, I'll validate the fixes when I'm able (and when the RPMs are available).
