Comment 1 Chris Lumens 2008-09-23 18:02:34 UTC 
This will be fixed post-beta.
Comment 2 Gene Czarcinski 2009-10-21 21:39:52 UTC 
still not fixed in F12-rawhide
Comment 3 Bug Zapper 2009-11-16 09:27:04 UTC 
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 12 development cycle.
Changing version to '12'.

Comment 4 Chris Lumens 2010-03-29 15:00:58 UTC 
This is caused by the fix for bug 495802.  Hopefully switching to metacity as our window manager for F14 will fix this issue.  Ales - can you take a look?
Comment 5 Ales Kozumplik 2010-03-31 15:56:45 UTC 
This indeed is still a problem on F13.
Comment 6 Ales Kozumplik 2010-04-01 11:43:11 UTC 
On rawhide which uses metacity the window appears centered but it is not centered anymore after the BIOS drive order is expanded (since it changes the size). Proposing a patch that should keep the window always in the center as long drive names might cause parts of the window rendered outside of the screen otherwise.
Comment 7 Ales Kozumplik 2010-04-06 06:48:36 UTC 
Fixed in anaconda-14.3, master commit 71621419dab4b5ad278c8c88ad972a1855f18849.
