https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=223857 Summary: yast2-bootloader UI: location uses checkboxes Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: RC 2 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: odabrunz@novell.com ReportedBy: jsuchome@novell.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com yast2-bootloader, in part of configuration bootloader location shows checkboxes with labels where to boot from (Boot Part, MBR, Root Part, Custom). Is there any reason for using CheckBox instead of RadioButton? With CheckBoxes, it is possible to select more items or even select nothing at all, but these situations don't have sense. RadioButtons force selecting only one option. Please switch back to using RadioButtons instead of CheckBoxes after 10.2. -- 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.

Default of course is only one. So this is expected behaviour, no bug. -- 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.

Well, if it has sense, than checkboxes might be neccesary. But there is still the issue that it allows user to uncheck all locations without any warning. -- 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.
