Do for example: stty cols 64 ./cfdisk Press <Down> several times; then <Up> several times. See how fragments of the partition type remain at the start of each line. Something else. The extra info block contains two lines giving the Start C/H/S and End C/H/S. But on my system all of them say "1023/63/254" (except for the first partition), so that seems to me pointless information. Maybe show them only when the Start and End values differ? Also, leaving out that information will make it more likely that, on small screens, useful info like filesystem type and label can be shown. Further, on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cylinder-head-sector it says that heads went up to 254 and sectors up to 63, so, if shown, shouldn't it say "1023/254/63" instead? Upcoming patches try to improve the layout of the cfdisk screen a bit: bringing the menu line closer to the hint line again, and the info block closer to the partition list. However, on narrow screens this might lead to the last one or two menu items being temporarily overwritten by the info line. I don't think this is a big deal: when there is little space, one must expect a bit of a shuffle. But if this seems unacceptable, then it will be better to define MENU_START_LINE as ui_lines - 4 instead. Benno -- http://www.fastmail.com - mmm...
