Let's not change anything there at this stage either. Rendering has been
a huge problem in the past, let's not take any risks for a problem that
affects I think a single screen, and for which documentation exists
anyway.

In source package cdebconf, file src/modules/frontend/gtk/progress.c, 
function create_progress_label(), the information text is displayed 
below the progress bar with a GTKentry widget type which is a single 
line text entry widget according to 
. The text is not really 
truncated, you can drag and scroll it with the mouse.


I guess that in order to wrap, the information text should be displayed 
with a different widget type which supports multiline text.

Dear Maintainer,

There is some message truncation during the phase of partition setup where a
storage device used for encrypted volumes is erased. I've taken screen shots
using a virtual machine but I don't see a way to attach images with the report-
bug tool. I'm supplying links to imgur instead.

Text installer with no truncation: https://i.imgur.com/pFWV2kY.png
Galery of both images: https://imgur.com/a/XD3lPpc

Steps to reproduce:
  1) Boot Alpha 1 version of Trixie installer in Graphical mode
  2) Partition with encrypted storage
  3) Ensure option to erase storage device is enabled
  4) View message supplied when erasing data
