I also think so.

I can provide a patch for the two issues: 1] There are three lines between the long description and the short description. (This is just removing the "strcat(res, "\n\n");" in src/modules/frontend/newt/newt.c) 2] The mulitselect may be displayed below the <Continue> button (or description, which render the selection impossible. (This is just changing need_separate_window() to compare height-7 (height-9 if the above is not applied) instead of height-5) However, I'm not sure it is the bug reported by Oded. Is there a problem with Asian fonts? (a wide caracters, like 望, is as wide as two ascii characters on a terminal). If the character width is not taken into account when rewrapping, the lines may need to be rewrapped later, which may add more lines and could cause the same issue as 2] above. Oded, can you point me to the package/template/language which triggers the issue (a screenshot would be welcome). (Or maybe the above two points would be sufficient) Best Regards, -- Nekral -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
