Overlapping buttons in software centre

[Seb]

Binary package hint: software-center

The "More Info" and "Remove/Install" buttons cover the package descriptions if the font size is too large. See attached screenshots.

Sorry but I can´t reproduce this, I have the same software center version and Spanish language by default. I´ve attached screenshot.

Hi,

What font size are/were you using? Did you launch S-C with a smaller font size and subsequently increase the font-size?

[Matthew McGowan (mmcg069)]

I do see a bug on increasing the font size.

With S-C running
1. set font size to 9
2. set font size to 14
3. navigate to the application list, i.e Get Software > Accessories
4. you will see misaligned buttons in the listview

Hi,

No I didn't change the font at all.

A recent update (just updated a day ago) mostly fixed this problem. Only the selected item has the description and the install button overlapping. Everything else displays properly.

  But I just now experimented and if I drop the font size to 12 there is no overlap. The problem only occurs when you set front size to 13+ for applications.

It's a fairly minor issue so feel free to close this

If you do want to debug further I'm happy to provide any info needed -- I'll attach a more recent screenshot.

New screenshot after update with font size 14 [sans].

Might be a minor bug but I can confirm that it looks unpolished with the overlapping buttons.

Even with a normal font size buttons sometimes overlap information. It does not happen every time, but occasionally. If I click the same repository in the left pane again, button becomes re-aligned properly. See attached record.
