Bug Description
Reported by a French user: http://
On Ubuntu 12.04, 800x600 resolution, the message :
"Appuyer sur F pour tenter de corriger les erreurs, I les ignorer, S pour ignorer le montage, ou M pour la récupération manuelle"
which corresponds in English to:
"Press F to attempt to fix the errors, I to ignore, S to skip mounting, or M for manual recovery" (95 characters)
was only partially displayed:
"réparer les erreurs i pour ignorer s pour passer le montage m pour" (66 characters)
which corresponds in English to:
"fix the errors, I to ignore, S to skip mounting, or M for"
As you can see, the start and the end of the string was not displayed.
As the displayed string was only 66 characters, I guess that:
- the problem would happen also with the English string (which is 95 characters) and all other translations larger than 66 characters.
- a WORKAROUND would be to reduce the English string to 66 characters, AND indicate to the translators that the string must be <=66 characters.
- a FIX would be to modify the 'mountall' code in order to display more than 66 characters in 800x600
