Some uglinesses:
CHOOSER:
View:Category
Click category=Base ('cause it's numerous), observe painting of text
quits after about 8 lines. White space is painted sufficient to fit the
"missing" text. Further digging reveals that painting text of the
package names quits at y=~2/3 height, by the time I tried expanding
Graphics it only painted 1 package.
Click category=Doc, observe program "wants" to Uninstall libxml2 &
libxslt. After a few more games, selected "Experimental". Now Doc
category "wants" to keep xml2 & xslt but *uninstall* man & newlib-man.
Select "Prev", observe the program now wants to uninstall anything for
which it doesn't find a "prev". IMHO "prev" should *skip* any package
where it's not possible to back up.
View:Full or Partial
Same ugliness as above, painting of package names quits at y=2/3.
Play with the vertical scroll. Doing it slowly left me with *nothing* in
the display area - once I scrolled the fractured text up off the display
it doesn't come back.
Play QUICKLY with the vertical scroll. Fragments of text show up,
unintelligable, at divers points in the list of packages.
