Proposing as NTH, obviously we want people to be able to actually read the errors we're displaying, though they probably get the gist as things stand. So I suppose with the proposed fix for this (enabling wrap) we need to be on the look out for absurdly long errors that might flow over the whole screen or something. Perhaps there should be some kind of sanity cap on total length? anaconda-18.37.4-1.fc18 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 18. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/anaconda-18.37.4-1.fc18 Confirmed in smoke8 (tested using the 'password is based on a dictionary word' root PW set error, in French - in English it just fits on one line at 1024x768, in French it goes over). Wrapped nicely onto a second line, no apparent ill effects. Discussed at 2012-12-19 NTH review meeting: http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-bugzappers/2012-12-19/f18final-blocker-review-6.2012-12-19-17.02.log.txt . Accepted as NTH, it's a reasonably safe change and obviously it's important that people be able to read error messages. anaconda-18.37.4-1.fc18 has been pushed to the Fedora 18 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. |
