This is still an issue with certain parts of the UI (sorry for adding here, bug reporting seems disabled). The text string for disk failure warning doesn't break lines and forces the dialog to be (estimated) 1500px wide (on a 1280px screen).
** Attachment added: "Smart values dialog. Note that the dialog's upper panel has two columns, one of which is left outside of the screen." https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-disk-utility/+bug/414107/+attachment/3282783/+files/Bildschirmfoto%20vom%202012-08-29%2023%3A59%3A04.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-disk-utility in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/414107 Title: Palimpsest GUI impossible to use on small screen Status in gnome-disk-utility: In Progress Status in “gnome-disk-utility” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “gnome-disk-utility” source package in Maverick: Fix Released Status in “gnome-disk-utility” package in Debian: Fix Released Bug description: gnome-disk-utility does not fit netbook screen. the window height is much more than 576px which basically make the app unusable on a netbook screen. The attached patch works fine as its already working in Meego and also its attached to the upstream bug report but there has been no activity from the upstream developers for more than 9months. Moreover, when the window is "maximized", it is impossible to click on the parts of it that are visible. As the user moves the mouse and clicks, the window position keeps changing. Worse, the window somehow decides to maximize itself. This prevents the possible workaround of moving it with Alt+Mouse, rendering the GUI definitely impossible to use. (When the user selects a filesystem mounted on the top of a cryptsetup mapper, whose path /dev/mapper/........... is too long, the window pops to maximized state by itself.) TEST CASE: start gnome disk-utility on a netbook with 600px vertical pixels, click on the name of your hardrive. gdu window will do some weired things as it dont fit on the screen so basically becomes unusable.
