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.

Description of problem:
We implemented smart wrapping on https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=864177 for names that took more than one line to display, and wrapped them nicely indented. When we get the chance, we should apply that (or something similar) to subscription-manager --help output, so that double lines are less awkward, and don't clutter up the module names, instead staying indented and aligned.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
subscription-manager-1.1.8-1

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. subscription-manager --help
  
Actual results:
strings that end up wrapping to two lines start left-aligned, by the module names, instead of leaving empty space there and starting in-line with the rest of the module description strings

Expected results:
wrapped lines should be pushed over to be in-line with the position the module description strings start from

Additional info:
option description text within modules already seems to do this

    878089: Add line wrapping when listing subscription-manager modules

Created attachment 859222 [details]
Subscription manager help wraps as expected

Version:

# subscription-manager version
server type: Red Hat Subscription Management
subscription management server: 0.9.2-1
subscription-manager: 1.10.13-1.el7
python-rhsm: 1.10.12-1.el7


Verification:

Please see attachment.

the Stdout of subscription-manager --hel wraps accroding to screen size as expected.

VERIFIED

Individual module --help wrapping (ex: subscription-manager attach --help) is handled by option parser, and would require a a bit more time to fix.  I only fixed the modules help.  I'll probably tackle individual module help wrapping in the future, but not in this release.
