Description Armijn Hemel 2006-09-28 12:41:58 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; nl; rv:1.8.0.7) Gecko/20060918 Fedora/1.5.0.7-3.fc6 Firefox/1.5.0.7 pango-text

Description of problem:
The userinterface in hal-gnome assumes that strings are only a certain width. This clashes with some translations, where strings seem to be "cut off".

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
hal-gnome-0.5.7.1-3.fc6

How reproducible:
Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. n/a
2.
3.

Actual Results:
n/a

Expected Results:
n/a

Additional info:
What I've described happens when I leave the default font on 10 points. If I scale down to 8, the problem "dissappears". Of course, this should be solved differently. I will attach a screenshot.

This screenshot shows that "Apparaattype:" can't be shown completely (the thing
between the red lines).

Seems to be fixed in current hal-device-manage

r for me. Please reopen if you still see this problem.
