I'd like to propose to turn "Services" and "Repositories" into tab titles and alle "Name" to take at least half of the screen width. Shrink the other column titles, either literally at the source code level (Prio, Enab, Autoref) or better let the UI shorten it at display time. I fear implementing this usability improvement is rather difficult. -- 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.
