The capabilities of text-mode UI (concerning widget arrangement and their size and spacing) are usually quite limited and it is the designer of UI who has to keep these things in mind, how UI will look in 80x25 console. Assign to maintainer of respective module - which is Jens-Daniel Schmidt (jdsn) in this case.

I am afraid that we can't do anything here. Well, we could, forcefully breaking the string at "appropriate" places like slashes, either on YCP level or in libyui or in yast2-ncurses, but that would be overkill. Workaround: look in /var/log/YaST2/y2log. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

Just print "\n " (newline followed by one blank, or two) before the URL. That way, there is at least a higher chance to display the whole URL, and at least we show more of it. And it should be trivial to implement, shouldn't it? Then you can close this as "RESOLVED FIXED" and I'll be one happy customer. ;-) -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

That's clearly a case of the developers being in a better situation to reproduce rather than "autoassigning" NEEDINFO to the original reporter, I'm afraid. Note that in comment #6 I suggested a simply compromise fix. Which was the last action here for five months before that not-so-useful NEEDINFO. </rant> -- 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.

Just print "\n " (newline followed by one blank, or two) before the URL.
URLs in messages are all over the place in libzypp. Meanwhile, this particular message has been removed and I cannot find its successor :-/ Sorry for taking so long. I hope the prioritization will help me to manage the queue better. -- 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.
