Public bug reported:
* Context
Simple execution of zenity
* Summary
zenity window opens too big.
The text appears on top but most of the window area is just empty.
* How to reproduce
Just type this :
zenity --info --text="$( for (( A=0; $A<20; A=$A+1 )) ; do echo -n
'lorem ipsum ' ; done )"
* expected
Window fits text
* observed
Window much too big. More than 90% window area is blank space.
* Additional information
It's not just a matter of too long a line. If text is cut in short lines,
window is still too big (though proportionally it seems).
Notice below "echo -n" replaced with "echo".
zenity --info --text="$( for (( A=0; $A<20; A=$A+1 )) ; do echo 'lorem
ipsum ' ; done )"
Trying with different text length shows that window area is not proportional to
text length but grows much more rapidly.
In other words, the longer the text, the higher the percentage of wasted space.
This command shows a sequence of 30 zenity windows with increasing text
length each time you press enter. You can see the trend easily.
for (( LENGTH=0; $LENGTH<30; LENGTH=$LENGTH+1 )) ; do echo $LENGTH ;
zenity --info --text="$( for (( A=0; $A<$LENGTH; A=$A+1 )) ; do echo -n
'lorem ipsum ' ; done )" ; done
