Description of problem: When you view updates with the gpk-update-viewer, the text of the update description doesn't word-wrap at the window edge. This results in a long single-line of text that you need to use the horizontal scrollbar to see Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-packagekit-0.1.12-12.20080430.fc9.src.rpm How reproducible: See that you have updates with the PackageKit Update Applet. Click on it and do 'Show Updates'. Any update with a lot of text for the description will not word-wrap. Steps to Reproduce: 1. 'Show Updates' with PackageKit Update Applet 2. Select any update that has a lot of text with the description field (amarok-1.4.9 update is when I first noticed it, but it affects any update with a lot of text for the description). 3. Actual results: Description text does not word-wrap at window edge (text-box edge may be more accurate) Expected results: Update text would word-wrap to stay in that window, making it more readable. Additional info:
Yes, this is a limitation on GTK. We would need to create a custom renderer for this to work using the current GTK version.
