GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 666635
The size of the details pane in gpk-update-viewer is too small
Last modified: 2013-11-11 14:43:42 UTC
Created attachment 204018 [details] gpk-update-viewer The details pane in gpk-update-viewer only showed 4 lines and it's hard to read the description.
Created attachment 204019 [details] [review] Patch to set the default height I made a patch to set the default height of the details expander to 100 which was chosen arbitrarily and the result works fine for me.
It would also be helpful to add a handle to the border between the updates and details panes to allow resizing of the details pane.
I also ran into this and found this existing bug. Any chance to get this into the next release?
Please consider * Expected results: Both the list of updates and the description field should grow on maxmize. There should be a handlebar between the two to adjust the size if necessary. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=816090#c0 * Reasoning: It's way more than just annoying. It's actively dangerous. ... https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=750116#c5
Please confirm this somebody.
Problem still present in 3.6.0

Thanks for the patch, Gary. Pushed to master and gnome-3-8.
Can somebody post a link to commit and exact version of gpk-update-viewer where it is fixed? Fedora 19 $ gpk-update-viewer --version 3.8.2 The bug is still here - description field is only 2 lines long.
Created attachment 259530 [details] Fedora 19 gpk-update-viewer 3.8.2
It's fixed by https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-packagekit/commit/?h=gnome-3-8&id=f9fdcd33fef6e713f7b99970823aac6db4ba7b6f which unfortunately is after 3.8.2.
Just kidding, that was completely different. The fix is https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-packagekit/commit/?h=gnome-3-8&id=baf177fa0f69c16f3db92af16a7865dbb0d81428 but my comment ("after 3.8.2") still applies.
Great! Thanks. I can't find 3.8.3 to request sync in Fedora. It looks like Gnome 3.8.4 is already released, but there is no stable 3.8.x tag after 3.8.2 for gnome-packagekit in Git: https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-packagekit/refs/tags?h=gnome-3-8 Is it possible to see gnome-packagekit 3.8.3 released with this fix?
