Description MartinKG 2012-12-11 19:20:02 UTC
after upgrading zenity on Fedora 17 x86_64 from zenity-3.4.0-1.fc17.x86_64 to zenity-3.4.0-2.fc17.x86_64, list option didn't work any longer, see also
http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=286596

working comand with zenity-3.4.0-1.fc17.x86_64:

echo "+ 1, Unknown (AC3) (2.0 ch) (iso639-2: und), 48000Hz, 384000bps" | grep '^+ ' | sed -e "s/+ /\n/" -e 's/, /\n/' | zenity --list --radiolist --title=""$disctitle": Select audio track that will be encoded with HandBrake" --width=750 --height=400 --separator="," --column="#" --column="Track" --column="Audio language"

Comment 1 Norman Smith 2012-12-12 21:58:29 UTC
The following example from the zenity man page does not display a dialog and goes 100% cpu if a matching file is found. 

find . -name '*.h' | zenity --list --title "Search Results" --text "Finding all header files.." --column "Files"

If no matching file is found it displays dialog and does not go 100% cpu.

I use zenity for a lot of sysadmin jobs.  I went back to an old executable from F16 to stay in business.

Comment 2 vaxon 2013-02-02 22:31:43 UTC
Is it possible to backport zenity 3.6 from f18 to get this issue officially fixed at last?

I've done it locally, and zenity 3.6 seems to work fine on f17.

Thanks,
Val.

Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2013-07-04 00:39:42 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 17 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 17. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '17'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life.

Bug Reporter:  Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 17 is end of life. If you 
would still like  to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version  of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 
'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 4 Fedora End Of Life 2013-08-01 04:35:32 UTC
Fedora 17 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-07-30. Fedora 17 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
