I think it's clear enough. If you want to be sure of some package, you can get the mouse hover them and check the tooltip...

That is a very tedious process, and all it shows is the package summary, not the package name. Also, under a lower resolution or a larger font, all I saw was many rows of "install...", which is certainly not clear enough. I'll attach a screenshot with my application font set to 18 instead of 10 (think old people, or anyone with vision impairment). The Changes box needs to be resizable, IMHO. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
