Description Tim Waugh 2009-11-24 09:56:22 UTC
Description of problem:
When there are many marker levels and their names are long the properties dialog becomes too wide.  See the linked Ubuntu bug report for a screenshot.

The marker-names labels should be word-wrapped, and perhaps we need a smarter way of sizing the ink drops table.  Perhaps the ink drops table could be put inside a scrolled viewport?

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
system-config-printer-1.1.13-10.fc12.x86_64

How reproducible:
Should be easy

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create a backend shell script to write out 'ATTR:' lines to stderr to set the marker-* attributes as shown in the screenshot, and end it like:

if [ -z "$6" ]; then cat >/dev/null; fi

2.Create a queue using that backend and send a job to it.
3.Run system-config-printer and view the ink levels tab in the properties dialog.
  
Actual results:
Dialog is too wide and cannot be resized smaller.

(Release set to 11 but both F-11 and F-12 are affected.)
