Other people have also reported that issue against winetricks ( https://code.google.com/p/winetricks/issues/detail?id=393 )
As that issue is only met when using winetricks (never got it with other apps), i suppose that zenity cant be blamed, and winetricks have to find a solution to display/expand its own dialog list. ** Bug watch added: code.google.com/p/winetricks/issues #393 http://code.google.com/p/winetricks/issues/detail?id=393 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to zenity in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1192101 Title: Fail to expand dialog box Status in “zenity” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: i only get a one line displayed into a very narrow scrolling box; for example when i want to choose something with winetricks. It seems not having any dconf settings by the way to fix that. The found workaround is to : - edit "/usr/share/zenity/zenity.ui" - and add on the line 1024 : <property name="expand">True</property> After saving that tweak, winetricks dialog box display as expected.
