[GTK UI] Interface seems buggy when resizing the window

[Xavier Claessens]

When resizing or maximize the install assistant everything goes to the bottom/right of the windows. It should take advantage of all the size of the window.

[Xavier Claessens (zdra)]

Here is the proposed patch. It is easier for manual partitioning to have a bigger window.

[Constantine Evans (cevans)]

Yes, this is most apparent during the manual partitioning. After any change is made, the resultant changes list makes the partition list very small.

Confirmed this on the beta livecd.

Patch applied in my bzr branch. Thanks!

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Fix line splitting in parted_server bindings, particularly affecting
    partitions with whitespace in their names (closes: Malone #41768).
  * Drop duplicate encode("UTF-8") calls while preseeding passwd/* (closes:
    Malone #42097).
  * Set LC_COLLATE=C for debconffiltered subprocesses; some other collation
    orderings confuse partman into mounting partitions the wrong way round
    (closes: Malone #40395).
  * GTK frontend:
    - Disable back/forward buttons while waiting for debconffiltered
      subprocesses (closes: Malone #41948).
    - Improve widget packing on resize (thanks, Xavier Claessens; closes:
      Malone #40227).
  * Automatic update of included source packages: partman-auto
    45ubuntu11, silo-installer 1.03ubuntu3.

  * KDE Frontend:
    - Set busy cursor and disable buttons between steps

[Xavier Claessens (zdra)]

This bug is back ! I'll post a patch.

[Xavier Claessens (zdra)]

This little patch works for me :-)

[Colin Watson (cjwatson)]

Thanks, looks good. I'm doing something slightly different because there doesn't seem any point in letting the separator across the bottom of the dialog expand, but I've applied the main point of your patch (allowing the steps notebook to expand and fill).

ubiquity (1.0.8) dapper; urgency=low

  * Ignore IOError when trying to tell gparted/qtparted to undo or exit
    (closes: Malone #46387).
  * GTK frontend:
    - Make sure the steps notebook expands and fills available space when
      the window is resized (closes: Malone #40227).
    - Hide the "New partition size" box rather than merely making it
      insensitive when not in use (closes: Malone #46749).
  * Ignore failures while removing extra packages from installed system
    (closes: Malone #46733).
  * Tell time-admin to suppress its "Install NTP support" button (closes:
    Malone #46743).
