Description Alistair Hamilton 2005-08-30 18:14:01 UTC 
During installation and from YaST2, there is a bug in the bootloader 
installation dialog. 
 
Repeatable. 
 
Select YaST2->System->Boot Loader 
 
Select tab "Boot Loader Installation". 
 
Go to the drop-down box and select a location for the boot loader other than 
the default. 
 
Click Finish. 
 
Result: the boot loader is installed in the default location because the radio 
buttons are not updated when a new location is selected, and the default radio 
button is still active. 
 
Selecting a location in the drop-down should automatically cause the "Other" 
radio button to be active. 
 
The behaviour is the same during installation and is entirely repeatable.
Comment 1 Alistair Hamilton 2005-08-30 18:18:26 UTC 
The point is that the boot loader is installed in the default location, and 
not that selected by the user.
Comment 2 Michael Gross 2005-08-31 09:47:10 UTC 
For the confused people: What Alistair wanted to say is that the radio-button
for the `other' location should automatcially be checked when the drop-down-box
is activated for convenience. Sounds like a good idea.

OK, this is just a usability enhancement request. Will solve it for 10.1.
Comment 4 Jiri Srain 2005-10-03 10:57:45 UTC 
Fixed in SVN for 10.1. 
 
Stefan, I realized, that editable combo box generates an event if user selects 
different item, but it does not if user edits the contents of the entry (eg. 
like TextEntry). Could you, please, check it? Neither `opt (`notidy, 
immediate) made it work...
Comment 5 Stefan Hundhammer 2005-12-20 16:11:39 UTC 
Now sending ValueChanged event for YQComboBox if `opt(`notify,`editable) is set and the user edits the text in the combo box.
