Wow, that's a long description. I've applied the following patch to git master:

    bugfix: truncate description fields greater than 1024 bytes in size to fix rh#475947

I'm not going to show all of such insanely long descriptions. Descriptions shouldn't be this long.

Comment 3 Pavel Rosenboim 2008-12-17 10:15:21 UTC
Even when description is not that long, it is very annoying when description field suddenly changes its height when clicking on the package. It should have fixed (and preferably, user-adjustable) height and a scrollbar. Truncating the description is not a good idea, IMHO.

Comment 4 Jens Petersen 2008-12-17 23:32:08 UTC
Agreed.

Comment 5 Pavel Shevchuk 2008-12-19 11:04:22 UTC
Description of enlightenment is fixed in enlightenment-0.16.999.050-1. It's already in rawhide, updates for F-10 and F-9 will be pushed in few days

Erm, and what is happening on the gpk side now?

Comment 8 Richard Hughes 2009-01-15 09:23:22 UTC
GPK truncates super long descriptions, and I'm working on making it a scrollable text box for the next major release.
