dialog prompt is unclear regarding "-part" #12

Closed a-schaefers closed 6 years ago

a-schaefers commented 6 years ago

I tried first in ansi-term and then xterm, ssh'd into a virtualbox guest.

The dialog screens were not clear at one point, see screenshot attached.

Basically, it told me to choose partitions with -part, but the dialog cut-off made it impossible for me to tell which entry I should choose, because while I was cycling through the list, they all had cutoff the string before the *-part section.

At this point I C-c and ls -al /dev/disk/by-id and saw there were two partitions with -part, which then makes question which one I was supposed to pick anyways?

Thank you

edit: So you can see in this screenshot, the disk string in the dialog is cutoff, not being wide enough. I cannot see to the right the remaining *-part. Clearly then I break with C-c and took a look at the disks with ls -al /dev/disk... (That's why you only see the top-half fragment of the dialog.)

I'm pretty sure setting the HEIGHT and WIDTH variables at the top of the script to 0 should fix this. Do you mind trying again with them set to 0, and let us know if it fixes the problem for you?

Yeah @johnramsden , that fixed it.
