GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 577530
Evolution first run wizard has huge window, requires adjusting translation messages
Last modified: 2019-11-12 19:11:35 UTC
Incorrect translation Application: Evolution Incorrect text: The first-run wizard for Evolution mail. Should be: The messages need to be investigated to figure out which causes the window to be very big.

On a normal 3:4 screen this problem might not be noticeable in 1024x768 but it is definitely a problem on 10 inch 16:9 monitor in 1024 x 600 display. The action buttons are falling off the bottom of the screen and there is neither a scroll bar in the wizard window to permit scroll down to the bottom of the window nor is there a scroll bar on the desktop to enable the user to scroll the window off the top of the desktop to see the bottom of the Evolution installation setup wizard. Thanks
Thanks Martin. It appears that some message, probably in a subsequent screen in the assistant, is too long. In the GTK+ way, this makes the dialog to get the maximum needed size to accommodate the biggest step. The problematic string can be identified if we go through all the steps of the assistant and observe the label sizes. You may also use Accerciser to identify the dialog box elements. If the same problem happens in the US English evolution, then it might mean the problem is more complicated that just a Greek translation.
Is it still a problem?
Either way, it’s not a l10n bug. Moving to Evolution.
