The problem happens in the page of the wizard where you have to select which packages you want to update. If you try to enlarge one of the columns (e.g. the "Version" column) by dragging the edge of the column header, instead of being able to resize it, the first visible package in the list gets checked. Note that when moving the mouse over the edge of the header without clicking, the pointer is changed in an a "resize" pointer.
[ It may be wise to put "up2date" in the summary line, as that's the obvious thing to search for when encountering this bug ] Exacerbating this is that some of the versions are too large to fit in the column. I currently can't tell from up2date what kernel version up2date wants me to upgrade to, because "2.6.6-1.435.2.3" is too long.
Created attachment 101756 [details] Screenshot of up2date with unreadable Version column Here's an attachment showing the Version column that's too small to be read in its entirity.
Fedora Core 2 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC3 updates or in the FC4 test release, reopen and change the version to match.
This problem is still present in "up2date-4.4.23-4" in Fedora Core release 4. Changing version from "fc2" to "fc4".
