[Bug 710743] New: implement minimum & maximum column widths for installation summary tab content
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=710743 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=710743#c0 Summary: implement minimum & maximum column widths for installation summary tab content Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 12.1 Version: Factory Platform: All OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: tgoettlicher@novell.com ReportedBy: mrmazda@earthlink.net QAContact: jsrain@novell.com CC: jsuchome@novell.com, tgoettlicher@novell.com, zjjia@novell.com Depends on: 710740,710741 Found By: --- Blocker: --- Created an attachment (id=444479) --> (http://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=444479) 640x480 screenshot, a suggested initialization of Package & Summary column widths +++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #674919 +++ As noted in parent bug, too much work is involved to resize columns to make summary wide enough to both be useful and stay useful. Conversely, the version isn't likely anything most people care anything about or do anything as a consequence of during installation. Also, many package names are ridiculously long for the installation context, making initial Package column width excessively wide. During installation (& probably also after) summary is arguably more important than version, and thus deserves a reasonable minimum width, quite more than 12-13 characters it gets now. Those using narrow screens have probably come to expect appearance of horizontal scrolls as a matter of course. Thus, implementing reasonable wider minimums that force horizontal scroll in narrow windows hardly seems unreasonable, as does limiting Package column width to no more than about 50%-60% of the pane width when the window is narrow. A mouseover tooltip should be adequate for those needing access to the entirety of lengthy package names. -- 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.
