[Bug 1463944] Re: Ubiquity gtk dialogs could be large in width

[Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre]

I'd like to echo Iain's comments here; I'm happy to sponsor a patch to
limit the width of dialogs, but I would prefer if it used max-width-
chars (or an equivalent for the KDE component).

Hugh, would you have time to update your patch to at least use the
property for the gtk dialog? I'm happy to do the research for the Qt
variant of it and patch that component myself (or I can let you do it if
you're interested).

I'm assigning this bug to you for now, but we'll look again soon; it
would be great to fix this for the 15.10 release.

Title:
  Ubiquity gtk dialogs could be large in width

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  The gtk dialogs in the Ubiquity frontend have a width based of the
  lines in the dialog text. The dialog will stretch to the width of the
  screen if line contains enough characters to span the width of the
  screen. The attached patch wraps messages to 100 characters so the
  dialog width doesn't get so huge.
