Patch

comment:1 follow-up: Changed 14 years ago by tomeu

  • Keywords r! added; r? removed

+ label_info.set_line_wrap(True)

Should this be label_copyright instead?

  • "Association Inc; Red Hat Inc; Collabora Ltd; "
  • "and Contributors.")

+ "Association Inc, Red Hat Inc, Collabora Ltd; "
+ "and contributors.")

Could you bring the issue to the mailing list? Preferably consulting whoever was involved in agreeing this string with the parties involved (Walter?).

Actually, I think it should be:

© 2006-2010 One Laptop per Child Association, Red Hat, Inc., Collabora Ltd., Sugar Labs, and contributors

Not sure there is a real issue here re punctuation. Red Hat seems to prefer a . after Inc. and
Collabora uses a . after Ltd.

I think it is appropriate to include Sugar Labs.

And we should flip the calendar to 2010.

Most style guides I am aware of allow either , or ; for serial lists, where ; is used for phrases. But either way is OK.

Urgh. Yes, of course. Have fixed with latest patch.

This string should now be what the patch proposes.

Have gone with commas, as it's a list of names. Have also included the trailing full stops.

This happens on the XO-1 in OLPC's build os851 (10.1.2 release candidate) that incorporates Sugar 0.84.16. The copyright text is clipped at "and Contribut". There doesn't seem to be any way to scroll or pan horizontally to see the rest of the text. The fix timclicks proposes for this (add label_copyright.set_line_wrap(True)) is not in that build's code.

I made the add label_copyright.set_line_wrap(True) fix on my XO-1 and the copyright line in About my Computer wraps and is entirely visible. There's still some oddness because it and the "Sugar is the graphical user interface..." text have a much wider right margin than the Full license text underneath when you expand it.

Thanks for keeping the motivation up.

I think this is a little outside the scope of the original bug. But still an issue!
