Description of problem: There is a white square at the end of the currently highlighted line in the grub menu. (I don't know whether it is a cursor, but that would be my guess.) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): grub-0.93-3 as installed with phoebe 2 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. look at the boot menu. Actual results: The currently highlighted item has a white square at the end instead of having the whole line be black. Expected results: A completely black line would be more aesthetically pleasing and is what was there before, if I recall. Additional info: Sorry there's no "priority" or "severity" less than "low". If there were, I would have chosen it. I just think no issue is too minor to mention.....
Yeah, it's a side effect of the changed cursor handling in the newer grub patch. I'll probably fix it one weekend when I'm bored
This is still in SEVERN. I'm glad to see you haven't been bored during any weekend. :-)
Red Hat apologizes that these issues have not been resolved yet. We do want to make sure that no important bugs slip through the cracks. Red Hat Linux 7.3 and Red Hat Linux 9 are no longer supported by Red Hat, Inc. They are maintained by the Fedora Legacy project (http://www.fedoralegacy.org/) for security updates only. If this is a security issue, please reassign to the 'Fedora Legacy' product in bugzilla. Please note that Legacy security update support for these products will stop on December 31st, 2006. If this is not a security issue, please check if this issue is still present in a current Fedora Core release. If so, please change the product and version to match, and check the box indicating that the requested information has been provided. If you are currently still running Red Hat Linux 7.3 or 9, please note that Fedora Legacy security update support for these products will stop on December 31st, 2006. You are strongly advised to upgrade to a current Fedora Core release or Red Hat Enterprise Linux or comparable. Some information on which option may be right for you is available at http://www.redhat.com/rhel/migrate/redhatlinux/. Any bug still open against Red Hat Linux 7.3 or 9 at the end of 2006 will be closed 'CANTFIX'. Again, if this bug still exists in a current release, or is a security issue, please change the product as necessary. We thank you for your help, and apologize again that we haven't handled these issues to this point.
This is still present in FC5.
This bug is still present in Fedora 8. grub-0.97-19
This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. 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 '8'. 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 8'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 8 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 please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. 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. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Never mind about this. I reported it well over five years ago long before Fedora 8 was even a twinkle (or anything else) in anyone's eye. I've just been coming by and updating the release from time to time. I don't use Fedora anymore (using RHEL5 at work at Debian at home), and this bug is too unimportant to be worth anyone's time. If I really care about it at some point, I'll report it upstream to the grub maintainers. In the mean time, I'll take the liberty as the reporter to close the bug and let other people do more important things.
