Description Reartes Guillermo 2013-01-28 11:02:09 UTC

picture of the 'big' configure dialog

Description of problem:

The "CONFIGURE" dialog is too tall, the SAVE button is off-screen. 

The first time i tried i had to use SHIT-TAB to hit it. (Because i forgot that the button was 'save', just assumed 'accept' and i incorrectly tried ALT+A and i never ever tried ATL+S). :-(

The proper way is to just use ATL+S.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
F18 Release

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enter the network spoke from the main hub
  
Actual results:
Since the button is off-screen, one will try the hot-key.

Expected results:
The save/cancel buttons on-screen.

Additional info:
This is not so important but it might be possible to fix it someway.

This reproduces something very similar in a VM:

1. Start the installer DVD:
$ qemu-kvm -m 2048 -hda f18-test-2.img -cdrom ~/xfr/fedora/F18/F18-Final/Final/Fedora-18-x86_64-DVD.iso -vga vmware -boot menu=on -usbdevice mouse -net nic -net user,name=link1

2. Press F12 for boot menu.
3. Switch to qemu monitor with ctrl-alt-2.
4. Type "set_link link1 off".
5. Switch back to qemu emulation with ctrl-alt-1.
6. Select "3. DVD/CD ..." from boot menu.
7. Select "Install Fedora" from isolinux menu.
8. Press tab to edit kernel command line.
9. Append "resolution=800x480".
10. Click Continue in Welcome dialog.
11. Click Configure in network dialog.

This is just nm-connection-editor being invoked by anaconda, so if they make any changes there, anaconda will pick it up for free.

Comment 4 Fedora End Of Life 2013-12-21 10:55:10 UTC
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bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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.

Comment 5 Fedora End Of Life 2014-02-05 18:36:07 UTC
Fedora 18 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2014-01-14. Fedora 18 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.
