Notice the lack of space between the action area and the content.

I also think the checkbox would be better off as part of the content, instead of sitting next to the buttons.

The checkbox is part of the content, something is going wrong with the packing.

What resolution are you running at there?  Also, it looks like something weird is going on with font dpi (which then impacts the flow/packing)

We continue to have ongoing problems here from release to release even when we've changed nothing :/

This was a live cd install running on my old Dell, so probably 1920x1200.
The anaconda window was a small window in the middle of the screen...

A fixed-size window is never going to work, regardless of dpi changes. But I don't think you are forcing the window size, or are you ?

Which also probably means the xrandr call failed.

No, we do force the window size.

Fix sent to anaconda-devel-list for review and will then be pushed for rawhide.  It's a little kludgey and a bit of a big hammer, but it'll solve the problem in the short term until we can do the bigger set of changes
