Package: gdm3 Version: 45~beta-1 Severity: wishlist Hi,
While testing Gnome installs using openQA I noticed that if providing the wrong password, one is shown a message that is word-wrapped in an awkward manner: Sorry, password authentication didn't work. Please try again. you can see a screenshot of that here: https://openqa.debian.net/tests/190043#step/_graphical_wait_login/9 I would suggest that whatever is deciding to wrap that text could be improved to prefer balancing the number of words in the two lines somewhat better, and to prefer doing line breaks after punctuation, in order to obtain a result like: Sorry, password authentication didn't work. Please try again. Even if it just did the most simple-minded thing: choosing to wrap as soon after the middle of the string that it finds white-space, that would look better IMO: Sorry, password authentication didn't work. Please try again. I'm sure that this bug actually exists in some library that gdm3 uses, so please reassign it as appropriate. I am aware that this is completely trivial (hence wishlist), but doing QA testing tends to make one notice such things, and I'm sure that whatever is making that line-break decision is making equally poor decisions in many other places, and in other translations, and that the whole user experience might be (very slightly) improved if it did a better job. Cheers, Phil.
