This was happening on bare metal too. It should be fixed in bugfix/12249-formats-popover-cut, tested under libvirt/qemu with and without persistence and on bare metal.

Please elaborate on how to reproduce this issue, and which popover is cut. I don’t acheive to reproduce it.

Please review and merge at 3b4403 but don’t close the ticket. It beotter spread extranous space required for the popover to be shown completly among sections of the interface.

This ticket should however be kept open as long as Bug #12364 is not resolved.

Merged!

But the issue is still not fully resolved: if the popover is open and I resize the window vertically I can easily find situations where the popover gets cut. Only parts of the border is cut, however, so I find this “problem” completely irrelevant.

I find it a slight bit worse that with a screen with 480 pixels of vertical resolution the popover will end up underneath the GNOME top panel, completely blocking the text entry. Still, sort of irrelevant given that no one likely uses that small resolutions these days.

Any way, I think what we have is good enough, so I consider this ticket closed; if someone feels differently about this, please re-open it!

Alan wrote “This ticket should however be kept open as long as 12364 is not resolved” so reassigning to him. What’s the next step?

The problem is that if the screen is not high enouge or the user shrinks the window the problem may still occur.

Fix Bug #12364. Prehaps having this ticket still open is a duplicate though.

Leaving it opened in the hope duplicates don’t get reported, marked as blocked by the likely root cause of the problem. Not a blocker for 3.0 IMO.

So, anyone who can somewhat reliably reproduce any of these bugs, please:

• get used to add the debug option in the boot loader;
• send a WhisperBack bug report every time you hit any of these problems, clearly stating which one(s), and provide a contact email address;
• ideally, send the boot.svg file generated by systemd-analyze plot > boot.svg to alan@boum.org and intrigeri@boum.org, referring to the bug report you’ll have sent already.

Setting loprio because most people don’t use such small screens anyway.

A fix has been merged. No news since 7 months on this ticket, no new bug reports on the issue -> seems we’re good. Closing.
