OS 12.2 with GNOME - Software Manager window clipped

**fosdex** · 12-Sep-2012, 21:48

Greetings,

Installed OS 12.2 (64-bit) with the GNOME desktop. When running the Software Manager the window does not render as a scrolling window so the bottom pane that displays package info is badly clipped. This occurs when the window is unmaximized or maximized - I made screenshots to make it easier to see what is happening but the forum does not allow attachments...foo!

Any fix for this clipping problem of the Software Manager window (and maybe others)?

Thanks!

SUSE Paste
Set it to keep forever

I have 12.2 on a netbook and it seems OK even on that. However, I switch to use the QT Yast

Thanks for the pointer to SUSE Paste! I posted the screenshot and here's the url:

SUSE Paste

This installation is on a desktop system, although I don't think this matters. OS 12.2 installed with no modifications other that to load the NVIDIA driver. The problem also existed with the noveau driver so I don't think the issue has anything to do with the video card driver. Looks like something GNOME related.

You can adjust the frames
Hover your mouse over the frame lines and move them

It would be nice if this was fixed as it was never the expected behaviour before openSUSE 12.2.

Yes I'm well aware of the ability to resize the frames, however, the necessity to do it is new in 12.2 and I consider it a bug. Thanks for the hint though.
