Description Herman Viaene 2015-06-16 14:36:15 CEST

Description of problem: When installing a group of packages, the window showing the progress has initially a "Cancel" button at the bottom of the window, but this disappears after a while.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible: Always


Steps to Reproduce: This is a typical example
1. On a freshly installed system, open MCC - Hardware and choose the Printer.
2. The system aks to install CUPS, confirm this.
3. After confirming to install the dependencies, a window opens showing the progress of the installation. This window has a "Cancel" (its "Annuleren" on my Dutch language installations) button, but after some packages have been installed, the button disappears.


Reproducible:

I first removed LibreOffice from the system, then installed it again with some extra's to be sure to have enough packages to install (39 in this case)

Comment 7 Rémi Verschelde 2015-06-17 16:07:59 CEST

I think it's by design, you can cancel while the packages are being downloaded (though it's very responsive, but that's another issue), but you can't abort an update while it's being actual installed, because you might leave your RPM database in a broken state.

That's just my understanding though, maybe cancelling during installation is also meant to be supported.

Comment 8 Thierry Vignaud 2015-06-17 18:20:11 CEST

Actually, here a message might have been too big at one point, then pushed the other widgets to the south, making some being hidden after that stage

Comment 9 Thierry Vignaud 2015-06-17 18:25:22 CEST

Though yes, only download can be canceled.
It's shown at beginning of download then hidden at end of d/l

Closing as wontfix, then, because we don't want users to corrupt their system.
