[Bug 251180] New: can not move left/right in ncurses slp results window
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=251180 Summary: can not move left/right in ncurses slp results window Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Alpha 1plus Platform: PowerPC OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: yast2-maintainers@suse.de ReportedBy: olh@novell.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com 10.3a1+ on mac.suse.de when adding a new installation source, the slp result window shows long URL entries. None of them fits into the window 24x80 window. The up/down and the left/right keys move the selection cursor up and down. I expect that left/right shows me the right end of the URL. -- 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.

Either installation sources URLs are too short for the services in Prague office ;-) and one doesn't need to scroll, or I have different dialog in mind. -- 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.

Anyway, it is somehow tricky - available installation sources are displayed as a tree. In a tree widget, horizontal scrolling is not implemented, since LEFT and RIGHT keys are reserved for packing/unpacking subtrees. When there are no more sub-items below/above current level, arrow simply jumps to the next/previous item in a tree (which is probably not what user expects and therefore worth fixing?) Lukas, is there any specific reason for displaying list of available installation sources as a tree ? Do they need to have some hierarchical structure (catalogs, sub-catalogs etc.)? Wouldn't some 'planar' widget (e.g. SelectionBox) be enough? -- 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.

As you can see, SLP sources were planned to support more than only URLs. Our customers often have also some LABEL defined for a SLP source. This label is used first, then URL. Right and left arrows should not be reserver for opening and closing the tree but for scrolling. That's what we have + and - characters for. Maybe space key, which is sometimes used for browsing the tree might be used as well. This is not the only case where scrolling is needed in such tree. You might find it useful in `yast sysconfig` as well. -- 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.
