Description Tomas Capek 2013-09-23 16:34:52 UTC 
Description of problem:


By default, the keyboard preview dialog in the Keyboard spoke is too narrow to allow comfortably read various special characters, especially on notebook screens.


Expected results:

The dialog window is resizable - stretching it from the current ~70% width to ~90% seems to fix the problem sufficiently.

I suggest to increase the default size of the dialog to improve user experience.

I checked in 19.31.30.1

For what it's worth, the fix seem to have made the window taller but not necessarily wider on a laptop screen because its dimensions can reportedly be only set to absolute values of fullscreen...
Comment 4 Tomas Capek 2014-03-12 14:07:20 UTC 
Due to a bug in gtk that doesn't allow to properly resize the gkbd dialog, the dimensions of the dialog are now even less optimal than before the fix - width should be changed but isn't and height should have remained unchanged but is now bigger.

We better revert this thing if we can't fix it atm.

Thanks

Comment 6 Jan Stodola 2014-04-08 13:27:03 UTC 
The keyboard preview height is fixed in anaconda-19.31.75-1.el7.

Moving to VERIFIED.
