GnuCash Tip of the Day window

When opening GnuCash, the Tip of the Day window appears but is very many pixels tall and contains too much text (perhaps all possible tips).

This is a regression of bug 702391, which was fixed in gnucash-2.4.5-2, but it has reappeared in the current version of Fedora 17, 2.4.10-1:

$ rpm -q gnucash
gnucash-2.4.10-1.fc17.x86_64

The screenshot attached is from F17, apparently identical as in attachment 497113 [details] in bug 702391.

Out of curiosity and to estimate if I have to fix this in the GnuCash upstream repository as well:
I have seen the patch to fix this. It replaces trailing whitespace with a newline. The original code only removes the trailing whitespace.

The original code works fine on my Fedora 16, 32-bit. So I wonder what is different on F17 that needs to add the newline in the sed script ?

The only thing I can think of would be that ${SED} expands to something else in F16 and F17.

Do you have more details on this ?

Crap, I should send that upstream. Thanks for the reminder.
