Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 121012
error dialog doesn't fit to screen if it contains many lines
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:07:01 EST
Description of problem: The "Error" dialog of up2date doesn't fit to screen (resolution 1280x1024) if it contains lots of lines. Also, the window becomes so long, it's impossible to click the [Button] as it's not visible. Only way to continue is by pressing [X]. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): up2date-4.2.5-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. try to upgrade from stock RHEL3 to current (~100 packages) 2. have too little space on disk (don't ask ;) 3. on install stage, you'll see a message listing all packages, and a message that xxMB more space needed) Fix proposal: Use scrollable textview widget for showing the messages. I guess the same applies to Fedora's up2date.
