[Bug 743066] Re: KDE ubiquity language combo to small

[Harald Sitter]

Two options:

a) make the combobox wider
b) Get rid of the combobox altogether and dream up a new superior interface (popupish) which can make perfect use of available screen real estate and provide additional features such as filtering

I'd go for b personally.

Title:
  KDE ubiquity language combo to small

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  please see the screenshot: the language combo is automatically sized to the longest language name. But this is wrong, as it only recognizes the closed combo - if you click on it, there is also the vertical scrollbar to draw - and therefore many of the languages are cut off (with ... between the letters, see screenshot).
  In some cases, you can't even distinguish two similar written languages (see screenshot, "Slo...ina").

  A workaround would be to set it on a fixed size, there is plenty of space.
  Or Add the width of the scrollbar to the width.

  Small bug, but smoother KDE experience.
