Bug#478281: an error in displaying of multiselect dialogues in text form

2008-04-28 Thread Dmitry E. Oboukhov
Package: debconf
Version: 1.5.21
Severity: important

There's a certain  multiselect dialogue and its content is formed
dynamically by config script. The content of this dialogue becomes
known only when congig script is started on a users's computer, so
I haven't found a better solution than that described above.

In case when some items of the generated multiselect-dialogue go
beyond 70-80 symbols of string length, debconf displays the dialogue
incorrectly: multiselect window becomes wider than terminal width
and it is impossible to use such element of tuning.

Unfortunately I haven't yet had an opportunity to test if this bug
declares itself in case when the symbol width is 1 byte. I'll make
such a test in the nearest future.

Please limit the width of the displayed dialogue window by symbols
(the symbol width not always equals one byte) depending on the 
terminal width.
