Remove bad string concatenation (6.24 KB, patch)

Description Leonardo Ferreira Fontenelle 2008-12-06 13:44:02 UTC 
Does that seem a good sentence for you? :)

#: ../gnome_lirc_properties/backend.py:385
msgid "Make sure you keep pressing the <b>same</b> button and that you "

That's what I see when the code looks like this:

        if line.startswith(self._token_wait_toggle_mask):
            self.RequestAction(
                _('Press a button repeatedly as fast as possible.'),
                _('Make sure you keep pressing the <b>same</b> button and that you ' +
                  '<b>do not hold</b> the button down.\nWait a little between button ' +
                  'presses if you cannot see any progress.'))

Please fix this and other similar messages.

Remove bad string concatenation

I'm not really a programmer, so please check if this doesn't break anything.

I'm very sorry for ignoring your patch until now.

This seems to have been fixed in the meantime, by putting the whole string on one line.
