Go to <http://www.dropbox.com/downloading?src=index>. 2. Click on the Ubuntu download link, and choose "Open in Ubuntu Software Center". What you see: ------------ An older version of "nautilus-dropbox" is available in your normal software channels. Only instal ------------ That is, two strings are concatenated into one ribbon, and they don't wrap. What you should see: ------------ Standalone software package ------------ A minimal improvement would be just to make the existing text wrap. Separately, we should remove the "An older version ... is available" text altogether. We should advertise newer versions, not older versions. (Or if we should advertise older versions, we should figure out why and how.) <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter#gdebi> To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-center/+bug/855666/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
