Description Ed 2012-07-13 12:43:34 UTC
You can add markup (e.g. <b>...</b>) to the text in the four message dialog types (info, error, question, warning) and to the calendar, progress and scale dialog types.  

However the same markup is not recognised by the other dialog types that will accept a text argument: entry and notification.

Does this still happen in a recent, supported version? 2.28 is too old.
Comment 2 Ed 2012-07-16 07:15:20 UTC
I cannot tell you whether I would get this problem in a later Zenity version.  This is the latest version of Zenity to appear in CentOS 6.3 (and, by implication, in Red Hat 6.3).  

Are you saying you no longer support Zenity 2.28?  

Are you saying this problem has been fixed in a later version?  If so, which one?  If I have to raise a downstream bug with Red Hat, I will need to give them a target to aim for.  

Regards
Ed

Yes, we do not support this ancient version anymore in upstream GNOME.
If your distribution still supports that version, feel free to file a report in the bugtracker of your distribution.

For future reference, please check if the problem still exists in a recent supported version (3.4 or 3.2) before filing a report in GNOME Bugzilla.
Comment 4 André Klapper 2021-05-25 17:45:23 UTC
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 enhancement request ticket at
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/zenity/-/issues/

Thank you for your understanding and your help.
