Created attachment 1151714 [details] Incomplete display of Operating System Description of problem: After install RHEV-H 4.0, login UI, Operating System information display incomplete on system tab. Hardware information display incomplete too if the machine has a long name. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rhev-hypervisor7-ng-3.6-20160426.0.x86_64 imgbased-0.6-0.1.el7ev.noarch How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install rhev-hypervisor7-ng-3.6-20160426.0.x86_64 2. Login UI, check Operating System and hardware information on system tab Actual results: 1. After step2, Operating System displays "Red Hat Enterprise Virtualiz...", Hardware information display incomplete too if the machine has a long name. Expected results: 1. After step2, it should can show full name of Operating System and Hardware information. Additional info:
I understand why currently an ellipsis is used, but it does have value to see the complete OS name. Andreas, do you have an opinion from the UX pov?
The column has a certain width so we can fit the graphs as well. I tested this mostly on Fedora, CentOS and RHEL before, all of them with shorter names, so that's probably why this didn't come up before. One thing we could do is to show the full string on hover, with a tooltip.
Reported this in the upstream tracker. https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/issues/4314
What about a line break for long OS names? It would be nice to see the complete name on a first glance
Yeah, that could work too.
Upstream https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit/issues/4314
Will be fixed in Cockpit 0.113 Assigning to myself to track until release.
Likely manual testing needed.
