Comment 4 Miloslav Trmač 2012-09-21 16:27:15 UTC
This is a libgnomeui bug, looking at http://git.gnome.org/browse/libgnomeui/tree/libgnomeui/gnome-dateedit.c#n769:
> 	gtk_widget_set_size_request (gde->_priv->date_entry, 90, -1);
the date edit field always uses a fixed size.

(audit-viewer could work this around by setting a larger fixed size, but that wouldn't actually fix the problem, and it's not obvious what size to use.)

Comment 5 Fedora End Of Life 2013-07-04 03:04:50 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 17 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 17. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '17'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life.

Bug Reporter:  Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 17 is end of life. If you 
would still like  to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version  of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 
'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 13 Satyabrata Maitra 2016-05-30 07:06:30 UTC
In my observation, actually, its not physically truncated due to the restricted space in this field, rather, if user uses the right or left arrow key, the entire date format is visible.

Use the Arrow keys to view the entire date format.

The only thing is that the Date field is not too stretched horizontally to accommodate the entire date format at a stretch.

I think, it is under permitted functionality. Not considering it as Bug.

That’s a very weak workaround, really not good enough. The GTK layout model is built around auto-sizing, and autosizing the date field should be quite possible.

Comment 15 Fedora End Of Life 2016-07-19 19:25:48 UTC
Fedora 22 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-07-19. Fedora 22 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.

Comment 19 sachin 2017-08-24 10:22:10 UTC
This issue is not reproducible in F25 and F26, recommended to use fedora 25/26

Comment 20 Miloslav Trmač 2017-08-24 13:29:33 UTC
No, reproduced again with libgnomeui-2.24.5-13.fc26.x86_64 .

Comment 21 ompragash 2018-03-20 03:11:14 UTC

> Reproduced with libgnomeui.x86_64 2.24.5-16.fc27

I assume that you did not intend to close the bug if you can reproduce it (and I can’t see any updates in the commit history that would suggest that this has been fixed); reopening against F27, then.

Comment 23 Bhushan Barve 2018-08-16 11:46:17 UTC
Reproducible in F28. Changing the version accordingly.

Comment 24 Parag Nemade 2019-03-28 11:14:35 UTC
I am not sure what people are expecting from this bug here. The tool that has been used is audit-viewer which is gnome2 and python2 specific tool in Fedora. It is not a part of Fedora Workstation install also.

mitr,
I wonder do you use this package on Fedora Workstation?

Comment 25 Miloslav Trmač 2019-03-28 15:14:16 UTC
audit-viewer is irrelevant; this is a libgnomeui bug, with a minimal reproducer and a pointer to the exact line that is buggy.

Originally I expected the Fedora package maintainer to follow https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Package_maintainer_responsibilities#Deal_with_reported_bugs_in_a_timely_manner .

Now, I expect nothing and I am not going to spend any extra effort re-confirming the bug. The reproducer is attached for anyone to use.

Comment 26 Jens Petersen 2019-03-29 09:55:37 UTC
Basically this is GNOME 2 - I doubt it will ever get fixed.

I would suggest closing this WONTFIX or DEFERRED.

Comment 27 Jens Petersen 2019-03-29 09:59:15 UTC
Conversely it is quite possible that audit-viewer is the only packages affected by this bug.

Comment 29 Parag Nemade 2020-04-07 16:21:10 UTC
audit-viewer package already gone (retired) in F31. There are no packages that requires gnome-python2-gnome. I am closing this bug as WONTFIX. If anyone still see this bug exists in Fedora, submit fresh bug with reproducer for F31 or F32 system.
