Could you post a full screenshot of your software manager ui, I'm interested in viewing the differences between yours and mine. You seem to have the same yast versions as me. Regards Dave P

After looking at your screenshot I've finally managed to reproduce the bug. My size column is in fact fixed to 9 characters and when the value 1014.0 KiB appears in the size column it's truncated by dots. I think this bug most probably started with the switch from KB to KiB recently and the program assuming 1024 as a Meg. Regards Dave P
Whew!, Glad to know my eyes weren't playing tricks on me :p So if I understand you, it's the addition of that one little 'i' causing the problem? That extra character introduced when there was a change from KB and MB to KiB and MiB. (A change I must admit whose importance is lost on me -- I know the difference, I just can't see the relevance of knowing whether you are downloading 226.7 KB file or 226.7KiB file) So what are the fix options? Go to 10 characters in width? Why not just make the column behave like the other 3 columns where you can just grab the right heading border and resize the thing? I'm sure the devs will make the right choice. Thanks for working through this one with me to help me understand what was going on. Now if it can just be fixed we'll be golden. -- David C.
