RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Back/Forward firstboot buttons getting pushed too far to the right

Description of problem:
See the screenshot
When the "Entitlement Platform Registration" string is translated into a very long string in other languages (e.g. ja_JP), the Back/Forward firstboot buttons can conceivably be push entirely off the screen.

From the screenshot you can see that this affects all the "stretchable" gui control layout which is working as designed.  This can be problematic for the Back/Forward firstboot buttons because the user could get stuck on this firstboot panel with no where to go if these buttons get pushed too far to the right.

TODO: check all the supported languages to see if we are already broken.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
[root@jsefler-onprem-62server ~]# rpm -qa | grep subscription-manager
subscription-manager-gnome-0.96.16-1.el6.x86_64
subscription-manager-firstboot-0.96.16-1.el6.x86_64

fr_FR is broken in firstboot

Found that Forward firstboot button in LANG=fr_FR is off the screen.
Increasing the severity of this bug to High

Comment 2 John Sefler 2011-10-20 18:48:07 UTC
The long translation for "Entitlement Platform Registration" in firstboot affects these languages:

 fr_FR (affected the worst as shown in attachment 529328 [details])
 ja_JP

Comment 3 John Sefler 2011-10-20 19:01:04 UTC

Back/Forward buttons are either missing or obscured

As shown in this screenshot, the next panel is similarly affected in these languages:

ml_IN  (worst case Forward is missing)
kn_IN  (worst case Forward is missing)
de_DE
es_ES
fr_FR
it_IT
ja_JP
pt_BR
ru_RU
or_IN
ta_IN
te_IN

Comment 4 James Bowes 2011-10-24 16:33:04 UTC
For the long translation of Entitlement Platform Registration, I've replaced the string with the translation for Entitlement Registration, but only for fr_FR and ja_JP (to minimize overall impact).

For the second issue, which is caused by our all subscriptions tab, I've split the date select and text filter gui parts to two lines, vs being on one long line as before.

Fixed in master, 6c9fdbd87b and
RHEL 6.2, b16ca87b3
