Description of problem: The details pane in the updater UI must be resizeable. Right now it is completely insanely small (on F17 it's even worse!). A user should be able to drag the top of the details pane to make it bigger (or smaller). This has been a very long standing gripe for me on the usability of the updater UI. While at it, please also make the window resizeable, and _not_ take the complete height of the screen on startup (that's just plain ugly). Please make it startup with a size that is 'almost' the complete height.
ping?
(In reply to comment #1) > ping? I'm waiting for a patch from somebody. Thanks.
I have the same behaviour on my computer. It seems that this is only a small glitch, and that it can easily be patched by someone with a knowledge of the PackageKit codebase. It is one of those "papercuts" that have a dispropotionate impact on usability while seeming kind of easy to fix.
Created attachment 597632 [details] gpk-update-viewer.ui I know very little of gnome ui tools, but had a go with glade. I almost have it but can't seem to get the gtkpaned slider to do what I want. Submitting it anyway to see if it useful to someone
I just wanted to add that this problem is still in Fedora 18 and gpk-application 3.6.1 Ferry Huberts, could you update bug description ? Thanks, Yvan
The same problem in Fedora 19 (PackageKit V0.8.9).
This message is a reminder that Fedora 18 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 18. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '18'. 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 18's end of life. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 18 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 18'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.
