Created attachment 1057771 [details] Screenshot of the register and auto-attach dialogs size Description of problem: ======================= Technically this is not a bug, but it looks unpolished. Some of the dialogs come up disproportionately large with a large portion of the space being empty Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ============================================================= subscription-manager-gui-1.15.6-1.el7.x86_64 How reproducible: ================= Always Steps to Reproduce: =================== 1. Click on the Menu System->Register 2. Look at Register dialog 3. Register the system 4. Go to All Available Subscriptions tab 5. Click on Auto Attach button 6. Observe the Auto attach dialog Actual results: =============== See attached screenshots Expected results: ================= These dialogs should probably be smaller as the information within the dialog is rather small.

in github master: commit d72989505c608a5ad0c443b8e7f03da70b2201ad Author: Adrian Likins <alikins@redhat.com> Date: Tue Sep 8 10:53:19 2015 -0400 884288: Make register widgets handle resizing. For wide windows or dialogs, most widgets were set to use a align mode of 'fill'. This causes things like entry boxes to expand to the entire width of the parent. Combined with widget package that was causing the RegisterWidget to expand to cover the widgets register screen, many widgets fill the entire width of the screen. Make Entry widgets set a min and max width, but allow them to expand and fill up to that max width. Tweak most of the Labels to auto wrap. Enabling end ellipsing on most labels, but also give them plenty of room to expand with by setting the suggest number of lines before ellipsing. Labels also get set to expand. That combo removes the behavior of labels that require a ton of horizontal space, forcing the RegisterWidget to be very wide (and causing entries and the like to fill all of that space). Add Gtk.Adjustments for any ScrolledWindows that need it. Remove some Gtk.ViewPorts that are not needed (those holding a TreeView for example). Set min size requests for the ScrollWindows, so the defualt size allocated doesn't hide the contents. Replace some Gtk.Box based layouts with Gtk.Grid instead. Especially those that need Gtk.Alignment widgets for formatting. Generally reduce some of the spacing and margins of the widgets, especially around the edges of notebook screens. It should be up to the parent that holds the RegisterWidget to setup borders, spacing, and margins. Add size groups for some of the more fussier layouts.
Created attachment 1079193 [details] Fixed dialogs Looks good now. The dialogs are proportioned better, and the progress dialog shows the slider moving now.
