Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubiquity

Hello,

during installation testing of Natty Alpha 3 image (20110302, amd64) I saw a kind of graphic glitch in the manual partitioning screen:
The text of the button "Jetzt installieren" (german translation of "Install now") is larger than the button itself and overlaps it in an ugly way (see attached screenshot).
I am not sure whether this is a bug in Ubiquity or in any of the toolkit components (GTK, ...) used by it, so I preliminary reported it against Ubiquity.

Kind regards,
Jan

As the importance was marked as a low my suggestion is that actually we can throw the word "now", "jetzt" or Polish"teraz" out of the button. I did it. That seems to be the best thing we can do cause clicking INSTALL NOW seems to be the last step and in this case it is actually the first one. INSTALL NOW should be the very last step on the very last page - the last setting page step after which there is nothing more to do. I find "Installing" in this case a better idea than "Installing now". However in some languages the word Install can be very long itself so the bug should be killed.

What's even worse, the not matching string from "Install now" stays visible on the next few pages and covers the next buttons:

At least for me this seems fixed in the current daily live images :-)
