Package: partman
Hi, I found that depending on the language the partitioning help text does not fit into the screen when using the graphical installer. >From the partitioning main screen you can call a partitioning help, which is displayed as a popup window, laying over the main installer interface. This popup lacks a scrollbar, and therefore there maybe some unvisible part of the text, if the text has more than 40 lines (at least on my machine; unsure if this is depending on the screen resolution and so on?). In the text installer you can scroll this page down (although there is no visible scrollbar). Additionally to the unvisible text problem there is also the "Continue" button at the bottom of that popup, which is no more visible. So users might end up with canceling the installation and power-cycling their machine, because they see no other possibility to close the popup than via hard-switching off the machine (just pressing ENTER also works to close the popup, but since this is the graphical installer, people might be focussed on using the mouse and don't get the idea to simply press the Enter key). Adding the possiblity to scroll the popup would be the perfect solution for this, but somehow I thought, this might be not so easy. That's why I have shrinked the german translation of that partitioning help, so that it does not take more place than the english one (in summary). But in some languages this might be not possible... Also, it might be possible to change the width of that popup, since it only has a width of ~55 characters. Expanding that to let's say 80 characters would give a lot more room. Maybe this solution is less complicated than adding a scrollbar? Cheers Holger -- Holger Wansing <[email protected]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
