Description Stanislav Visnovsky 2004-09-23 16:20:03 UTC 
When installing packages in Qt installation, YaST buttons flicker with each 
update of the progress bar.
Comment 1 Stanislav Visnovsky 2004-09-23 16:20:03 UTC

Watch graphical installation of packages.
Comment 2 Stefan Hundhammer 2004-09-23 17:12:38 UTC 
I know, but that can't be helped: This is a byproduct of needing to call 
UI::RecalcLayout() for every update of the "Next CD: SuSE Linux CD 2 - 12:47" 
line at the bottom. This triggers a relayout of the entire dialog - which in 
fact is what is normally saved because YLabel widgets don't resize themselves 
when their content changes. You just discovered why this isn't done by default 
for every label change. ;-) 
 
I even tried to stretch that label to the entire width down below in that 
dialog, but that didn't work out. Maybe I'll give this another try - if time 
permits (which however I doubt).
Comment 3 Karl Eichwalder 2004-09-24 13:49:31 UTC 
The vertical progress bar also flickers - it's surely more severe than "minor".
Comment 4 Karl Eichwalder 2004-09-24 13:53:03 UTC 
Also displaying the busy cursor all the time during package installation is
annoying, esp. that's wrong because you can click around (diashow/details or
even abort or "help").
Comment 5 Stefan Hundhammer 2004-09-24 17:00:45 UTC

And yes, something like this is definitely minor by any of our Bugzilla 
severity definitions.

Adapted product / version number - problem still exists in 10.0
Comment 14 Stanislav Visnovsky 2006-02-21 09:31:54 UTC 
This cannot be the recalc issue - update layout is not called from YCP for every change of the progress bar.

IIRC the function that updates the time remaining until the next CD change in the bottom status bar has to call UI::RecalcLayout(), otherwise some text gets cut off sometimes. The problem is known, but I don't have a reasonable idea for a fix or a workaround yet.
Comment 17 Stanislav Visnovsky 2006-02-21 11:27:13 UTC 
No, RecalcLayout() is called only when an installation of a one package is done, not on every single-package progressbar update.

I know this is not the top prio, but just in case ;-)
