GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 706670
Controls move around when messages (password, fingerprint) are shown
Last modified: 2013-08-27 14:32:05 UTC
If we show a message below the password field (eg. swipe a finger, or incorrect password), the controls move around to make space. It's all a bit noisy. It would be nicer if the space for the messages was preallocated, so they don't cause any movement when they are displayed.
yea, we had that at one point and it broke. we should fix it again for sure.
Created attachment 253253 [details] [review] authPrompt: give message label an initial style This commit consolidates the styles of the various message types into one 'login-dialog-message' style and then adds additional styles on top to cover the differences. This allows us to give the message label an initial style so that is padded properly before any messages are displayed.
Review of attachment 253253 [details] [review]: OK.

Review of attachment 253253 [details] [review]: ::: data/theme/gnome-shell.css @@ +2446,2 @@ .login-dialog-message-hint { + padding-top: 0px; Uhm, the padding changes if we show an hint, so the controls still move.
Created attachment 253258 [details] [review] theme: add bottom badding for login dialog hint Since we're getting rid of the top padding, we need to add what we take away to the bottom padding to keep the size the same.
