(Item, tag = terms used in dialog man page). Another unexpected behavior can occur with --radiolist or --checklist option with long tags (see examples below). Tags are not shortened and menu becomes absolutely unusable. (Practical example: Try to install port ghostscript-5.10. It's very very hard to configure devices. And I don't think, that shortening of menu tags by hand is always good solution...) >How-To-Repeat: # /usr/bin/dialog --title "Test" --menu "Choose" -1 -1 1 \ "Is all text displayed?" "" ... No, only "Is all text displaye" is displayed ... # /usr/bin/dialog --title "Test" --checklist "Choose" -1 30 4 \ "Is all text displayed?" "" 0 "Yes" "" 0 ... Only "[ ] Yes" is visible ... Selecting is very hard ... # /usr/bin/dialog --title "Test" --radiolist "Choose" -1 30 4 \ "Is all text displayed?" "" 0 "Hmm" "" 0 ... Same problem as with --checklist ... >Fix: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the messagehelp
