Hi,
I’m using OpenSUSE 12.1 Live CD to try out the OS. When I use the Disk Utility application, few of the buttons (edit paritition) can’t be clicked. It’s not hidden, it’s just that it lacks the scroll (vertically) button.
The screen resolution I’m using is 1366x768.
Is this the right place to report this sort of problem?
Thanks
Henry

i think the problem is neither a missing vertical scroll button nor a
poorly designed “Disk Utility” GUI, but rather the selected screen
geometry is not allowing you to see all of the screen…i’d start by
trying to use the screen’s designed size…maybe 1440x900 will let you
see everything…
or, you can try holding down the Alt key and left click to ‘grab’ the
window and move it up to see what is below the bottom edge…

Hi Denver,
That won’t do since not all users have monitors that support such a high resolution. I’m pretty sure there are users who are still at the 800 x 600 era.
Anyway, for my situation increasing the resolution is not an applicable solution as the laptop screen only supports up to a maximum of 1366 x 768 of resolution.
I’d say it’s a badly designed or the programmer left this aspect out.
Know where to file this complaint?
So are you saying you can not move your mouse pointer down to select the edit functions? These are the options you get when a single partition like sda1 is selected in the tree on the left. First off, if you select the main hard drive like sda in the left tree, all partitions show up in the list on the right. Then, you can right click with your mouse on sda1 and select edit from a right mouse click menu, if you wish. Further, for such a problem on a laptop, I suggest you try an external mouse to see if it makes any difference as it could be a hardware support issue, if we can assume your built-in laptop mouse works OK in other OS selections.
Thank You,
Hi
Ensure the mouse pointer is on the active window, Hold the alt key then
left click with the mouse button to move the window up.

Bugzilla would be the right place to report this as a bug.

Attached is the screenshot of the problem that I’d faced. Will definitely filed it with bugzilla.novell.com
But I find that even Fedora 16 also present me with the same problem.

You see how there is no vertical scroll button on the Disk Utility. There are more options, including delete partition.

I am experiencing an identical problem, and i must also note that when I try to re-size the window ( if the lower right of the window happens to be visible,) it automatically snaps to the same size as in the above screenshot.Annoying problem!
