Description Gerald Pfeifer 2006-11-19 21:00:25 UTC 
How to reproduce:

 o Invoke "Installation Sources" module.
 o The "Configure Software Catalogs" appears; choose "Add".
 o The "Media Type" dialog appears; choose "Specify URL..."
 o The "Catalog URL" dialog apperas, and the "URL" entry there is too short.

That looks a lot like a over-layouted dialog - probably with a lot of HWeight() / VWeight() or a lot of VSpacing() / HSpacing() layout helpers.

I recommend to get rid of most of the inner content of the dialog and simply use HVCenter() around the label and the OutputField(). If you have trouble with this, please let me know.

SourceDialogs.ycp:1054:

 `HBox (`HStretch (), `VBox (`VStretch (), proto, `VStretch ()), `HStretch ())

'proto' is a dialog for the selected protocol.

When I use just `HVCenter(proto) it even worse, the widget is smaller.


But when I set 80% width for the widget (10% space on the left and on the right)

 `HBox(`HWeight(10, `HStretch()), `HWeight(80, proto), `HWeight(10, `HStretch()))

it looks right.

Try this:

`HVCenter(
          `MinWidth( 60, 
                    `TextEntry(`opt(`hstretch), "&URL", url ) 
                   ) 
         );


The weights you use are problematic: They enforce (!) that weight ratio. If there is little space (e.g. because the window is very small), they will also be enforced, so the content will become smaller.

MinSize() OTOH makes sure of a minimum size. If there is more screen space, it will remain unused. If there is less OTOH, the maximum available space will be used. And the HVCenter() is what takes any extra space, i.e. anything more than MinWidth().
