Description Peter Boy 2025-08-21 11:26:33 UTC
The create-device window is no longer displayed centrally in a visually legible format, but squeezed into the top left corner. The formatting is difficult to read (too little contrast, line width too thin)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start Anaconda 
2. Choose Advanced Custom (Blivet) to create a device, e.g. a partition
Actual Results:
The device appears in the upper left corner in a design that is difficult to read

Expected Results:
Display centrally in the view port and in a high-contrast, color-structured and easy-to-read manner. Just like it was in F42.

Additional Information:
Executed on a server DVD medium test installation

Triaged with Fedora-Rawhide-20250902.n.0 (anaconda-core-43.36-1.fc44, gtk2-2.24.33-22.fc43). The issue happens not only when creating a new device, but also when removing an existing one. Attaching a screenshot for a better idea.

Comment 3 Katerina Koukiou 2025-09-17 06:02:03 UTC
This is relevant to all blivet-gui dialogs, not just the "Create device" one. Sending an example screenshot of another dialog.

Comment 5 Fedora Blocker Bugs Application 2025-09-17 07:12:09 UTC
Proposed as a Freeze Exception for 43-final by Fedora user kkoukiou using the blocker tracking app because:

 This bug causes the Blivet GUI dialogs (e.g. the ‘Create device’ window) to render in the top-left corner with low contrast, degrading usability.
