Subject: rcconf: unnecessarily small window

Date: Sat, 14 Jan 2006 04:10:33 +0800

Package: rcconf
Version: 1.17
Severity: wishlist

There are six blank lines above the <OK> <Cancel> button lines that
seem to be wasted; the user having to scroll down when instead the
items could be revealed?

Maybe even more blank lines could be squeezed out at the top and
bottom too (e.g., the blank line below <Cancel>.)

reassign 347983 debconf
retitle 347983 wasted borders around selection boxes
thanks
I notice that the box produced by

Template: demo/multiselect
Type: multiselect
Choices: a, b, v, n, d, e, g, q, r, w, a, b, v, n, d, e, g, q, r, w,
a, b, v, n, d, e, g, q, r, w, a, b, v, n, d, e, g, q, r, w, a, b, v,
n, d, e, g, q, r, w, a, b, v, n, d, e, g, q, r, w

Has a wasted blank line above and below the box, with no way for the
user to ask that it be maximized.

P.S., wasted trailing whitespace:
$ cd /usr/share/doc/debconf-doc/examples/
$ grep -c ' $' *|grep -v :0
demo:4
tutorial-back:1
