GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 703043
problematic column layout
Last modified: 2021-06-09 16:06:25 UTC
The default layout doesn't give the last column enough room so when you are assigning the first "send keystroke", it's off screen and you have no indication the process was successful. Once you have some shortcuts assigned, it works fine. Unfortunately it is more critical to communicate well what's happening the first time.
That's true. I have fixed it in the patch that puts the modifiers in that same tree view. I'll extract the fix and put it here.
Created attachment 247723 [details] [review] wacom: Expand columns in buttons' assignment treeview Because the GtkCellRendererAccel can't almost be seen.
Review of attachment 247723 [details] [review]: Looks fine for gnome-3-8, we're replacing that code in master. Can you make sure that this doesn't squash the key description though?
Pushed. commit 35e3697b1d34fb21f1b08b0ea410713f45286c0c
It's broken still...
Created attachment 249480 [details] shortcut The "New accelerator" message isn't getting expanded.
It is set to expand. The problem is that, with some languages, the text gets to wide and something's got to give in, in this case is the edition mode of the accel renderer. I don't think the original issue was to make everything visible but to rather be able to assign the first key shortcut when the renderer was being "pushed offscreen". I think that with the three expanding columns as it is now, one can easily press the accel and assign a key shortcut.
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new bug report at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
