Created attachment 12121 [details] Selected USB, diskdrake buttons off screen Booted Mageia-8-beta2-i586.iso dumped to USB stick on my Thinkpad T43, attempting to install to another USB stick. I select custom partitioning, and click the target: Bang, and diskdrake right part - where the buttons are - goes beyond screen. I guess that is trigged by that USB have a nastily long name - maybe an effect of it having a Live before, and then reformatted FAT32 by Isodumper. But regardless of why Name is weird, diskdrake should never grow off screen!
Created attachment 12122 [details] created partition, diskdrake buttons off screen Another attempt: Here I instead selected the spinning disk, and started making partitions. After I made the encrypted partition, diskdrake extended off screen.
Same problem on booted system: diskdrake becomes wider than screen on i.e viewing same USB stick, but there it can be moved around so buttons are reachable.
What is that long name anyway, what is it really diskdrake displays? https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27744#c11
The long name should be the serial number of your USB stick. If you run dmesg after plugging the stick in, you should see the same thing, e.g. I just got [ 2323.156084] usb 2-3: new high-speed USB device number 3 using xhci_hcd [ 2323.287333] usb 2-3: New USB device found, idVendor=26bd, idProduct=9917, bcdDevice= 1.00 [ 2323.287338] usb 2-3: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 [ 2323.287341] usb 2-3: Product: USB DISK 2.0 [ 2323.287343] usb 2-3: Manufacturer: [ 2323.287345] usb 2-3: SerialNumber: 0701353D30B2A622 and diskdrake shows Device: sdb Size: 3.6GB Name: 0701353D30B2A622 But yours does seem absurdly long. For your second screenshot, that's an old problem that keeps recurring - see bug 20360 for some history. Changing the default resolution from 800x600 to 1024x768 helped. The only cure is to reduce the length of the Swedish translations (or use a language that has shorter words :-) )

Will try to remember checking name using dmesg > The only cure is to reduce the length of the Swedish translations ? I can not see anywhere a text that need that width. If it did, it should be truncated, compressed, smaller, wrapped, whatever.. respecting an unprotected arbitrary text length (if it was so) more than input control position is just wrong. Second attachement: diskdrake grew outside screen when that encrypted partition popped up. Note there is no (displayed) text change involved. Before i created the encrypted partition the width of diskdrake was smaller than screen.
I managed to reproduce your second issue. It looks like after diskdrake formats the encrypted partition, it redraws all the device tabs, not just the visible one, and an overly long line in another tab triggers the window expansion. I've (hopefully) fixed this by limiting the length of all the lines that are displayed in the info pane. This was already done when displaying partition info, but not when display the base device info. To be verified with the next ISO build.

Great :)

Verified fixed on same machine. Internal RC second round, xfce i586 x86_64 not tested in this regard because I do not have such low res screen attachable to a 64 bit machine. Also Live installer launched from desktop is OK. --- The problem still surface in diskdrake launched from desktop, per comment 2. But that is still usable as window can be dragged. Also, after selecting a partition in disk with too long name, window can be pulled less wide. Maybe issue a separate lo pri bug for that, for just making it look better?
