 I think this will not be for present one, but must be adressed, probably
 by a library patch.
 
 it's probably worst in french, but impact also the URL display.
 
 I speak of the width of many message strings on a small display, that
 are nearly un readable (too large/long)
 
 on a static display, for example when options are asked for and you can
 use tab to go from a button to a window, it's possible to shift the text
 with arrow keys, but on all the informative windows, this is not possible.
 
 many french strings are unreadable, right part of URL are unreadable.
 
 I don't exactly know what could be the solution? wrapping to the next
 line? enlarging the window (there is often room unused, even on such a
 small screen), trimming the center part of the string (...)?
 
 this is so current it must be addressed at the library level...

These problems need to be solved either case by case or as a general
solution. The problem is, don't take it personally, 'French' itself :)
It's a very talkative language.

Could you, please, send me some examples, screenshots? Use the default
size, that UI opens up. Don't extend any of the problematic windows.

Thanks

there are so many I think a general solution is necessary, 
that's why I don't expect it soon :-)

yes, but there are probably others also, and for example, 
the problem is always present for URL in the yast update 
modules.


This is quite unpleasant, because the window is not even 
close to the size of the screen.


for the url, two fast solutions should be:

* align right, so one can see the file name ratehr than the 
never changing server name :-)

* set in the po file, as a comment, the window size

I'll try
