Description Mark Howard 2003-09-16 17:11:52 UTC
Hi,
  http://bugs.debian.org/210588 notes problems with the import druid:

The XBEL (Galeon and Konqueror) Bookmarks Import Druid has a screen
called "Merge Imported Bookmarks". This screen contains two lists,
"Imported bookmarks" and "Current bookmarks". Both lists are only
one line high, which already renders them pretty unusable, but
what makes them *really* unusable is that the width of the fields
in the list is wider than the screen, so that there is a horizontal
scrollbar, which obscures the one line that is in the list! To make
things even worse, the druid window is not resizable, so that you
cannot enlarge the lists in order to work around this problem. The
only thing you can do is to resize the columns so that the scrollbar
goes away, and work with the one line there is...

I think the screen's usability would be improved a lot if the lists were 
side-by-side. That should get rid of most of the problems, don't you 
agree? Making the dialog resizable would be a nice addition on top of 
the layout change, but if the lists are side by side the urgency of that 
will be pretty low.

The druid is resizable again, leaving bug open since ric had some plans.
