Two info messages look odd on screen

[Martin Albisetti]

When you get two different informational messages on screen, it ends up looking a bit odd and confusing.

Funny thing, while reporting this bug, I can see that, in some cases, the messages are one on top of the other, which looks much better.

Martin, this is nominally my responsibility to triage because it is in launchpad-foundations. I've assigned it to you because I'm not sure what else to do. :-D I will send an email to the list about these issues.

Bug 249471 and bug 250561 are currently marked as duplicates of this bug report. However, I don't see how any general solution to this bug would fix either of those.

For example, if this bug was fixed by merging multiple alerts into one alert box, it would still be wrong for that alert box to say "Thank you for your bug report. Additional information was added to the bug description. The file “Coredump.gz” was attached to the bug report. The file “Dependencies.txt” was attached to the bug report. The file “ProcMaps.txt” was attached to the bug report. The file “ProcStatus.txt” was attached to the bug report. The file “Registers.txt” was attached to the bug report. The file “Stacktrace.txt” was attached to the bug report. The file “ThreadStacktrace.txt” was attached to the bug report. Apport retracing service has been subscribed to this bug. This bug report has been marked private (visible only to its direct subscribers). You may wish to _change this_." Much of the problem there is with the text itself, not with how it's presented.

I suspect this bug is fixed, I've never seen that split rendering.
