Description Jean-François Fortin Tam 2007-03-19 16:06:23 UTC 
When starting flegita, the dialog that asks to wait while scanning for devices has a strange text selection (I will attach a screenshot).

Furthermore, I noticed the info text does not wrap, which kinda breaks the dialog.

Uh, forget the "text does not wrap" problem, must have been a one-time glitch (or a gimp capture bug). The blue text selection is still here though.

Hi,

This bug is confirmed. I don't know if this is possible to set the selectability of GtkMessageDialog message. I may see this for future release.

Note that i'm heavily working on gnome-scan-0.5 (only available at Gnome SVN). I would like to drop this popup in favor of real HAL scanner support (which has been commited in SANE CVS). Does GtkPrint shows a "probing" popup ? No. I intend to do so.

I may fix this bug not the way you might think of ;). However, if you send a patch agains gnome-scan-0-4 branch ( http://svn.gnome.org/viewcvs/gnome-scan/branches/gnome-scan_0_4/ ), i will gladely  commit it.

Thanks for your attention on gnome-scan.
Étienne.

Hi,

I fixed this bug notabug. This is a default behaviour in GtkMessageDialog since users have to copy/paste error messages.

The bug might be the "autoselected" message on which i don't have access. (I just put a string in it).

Luckily, GnomeScan SVN error dialog does not have such bug (well, i haven't commited it yet).

Étienne.
