Anaconda right after starting

Description of problem:
When anaconda starts and displays the language selection screen, English is selected by default, but you can't tell because the default selection is not correctly scrolled into view.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Fedora 18-Beta-TC6 DVD

Comment 1 Volker Sobek 2012-10-27 13:34:41 UTC
This is a race condition. This only happens in the test VM when the host is under heavy load. When it is not, English is visible. From what I could see it looks like English is selected before the list has been fully populated, so the further populating moves the selection out of the view again.

I have experienced it a few times.

Man, they don't make this stuff easy.  Can you please try out updates=http://clumens.fedorapeople.org/870625.img and let me know if this is working better for you?

No, it appears to break things.

Oh, that's because you need something else in the updates.img.  But don't worry about it, because the fix I was trying out just moves the problem to the bottom of the view in certain cases.

Comment 7 Chris Lumens 2013-04-04 17:44:19 UTC
I've not seen it scrolled off the screen in a long time now, so I'm just going to close this as good enough.  It's not ideal, but I've not been able to make it work the way I want even with a lot of trying.
