[Bug 467876] New: Installation screens are not too well aligned (e.g. it sometimes falls apart at 1280 x 1024)
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=467876 Summary: Installation screens are not too well aligned (e.g. it sometimes falls apart at 1280 x 1024) Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: RC 2 Platform: All OS/Version: openSUSE 11.1 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: nice@titanic.nyme.hu QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; hu-HU; rv:1.9.0.5) Gecko/2008121300 SUSE/3.0.5-1.1 Firefox/3.0.5 I installed openSUSE 11.1 at some different screen resolutions, and I've seen some screen alignment faults. For example at 800x600 at the expert partitioning screen the left tab (tree view) doesn't fit in its area, and most notoriously at 1280x1024, on the desktop environment selection screen, the icon of KDE4 doesn't fit in the screen at all, only the half of it is visible. Other resolutions may also be affected. I know it may be too late for openSUSE 11.1 final, but you might fix it for the remastered edition and/or openSUSE 11.2 and SLE. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Istall openSUSE 11.1 (mainly at 1280x1024) Actual Results: Screen is badly aligned Expected Results: It should have a polished look -- 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.

OK, I've spent this afternoon by seeking that error, and finally I realized, that it seems to be language dependent instead of being screen resolution dependent. I was unable to reproduce it in english, but then I tried in hungarian (sadly, I was only able to test the hungarian installer in 1280x1024, because of the too heavy load on openSUSE mirror servers), and the installer produced that infamous error when running it in hungarian. -- 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.

Nothing to improve there. The other issue looks like a translation problem, that is the translation is to long and should use linebreaks. -- 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.

The "System View" is acceptable because there you can scroll. Shrinking the buttons is bad. At least, never cut text on the left. Why not breaking the button row into two rows if you are running out of space? I'd say that's not a translation bug; it's probably just a UI limitation. I'm not sure whether it is possible to improve it. Thus feel free to close it a WONTFIX. -- 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.

They are needed. Otherwise the layout falls apart every time. The overflowing "KDE 4.1" text is a translation issue. Where there are line breaks in the original text, there should be line breaks in the translation. It worked fine for "GNOME" in that screen shot. That's what the translator should have done for "KDE 4.1", too. Of course, the main problem is that there are those lengthy texts in the main dialog at all. The text below the heading, for example, is clearly out of place. It's a help text, and it should go to the help area. But wait, it was decided that the help text should not be displayed all the time. It had to be removed. During installation, it had to be replaced by the installation steps... But now that the alledgedly so useless help texts are no longer visible, they are simply dumped into the main dialog, and they create the kind of problem we see here... -- 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.
