Bug ID: 513107
Summary: The GRUB boot menu is too narrow, which causes some
lines of text to be cropped.
Classification: Plasma
Product: Breeze
Version First 6.5.3
Reported In:
Platform: Neon
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: GRUB

GRUB boot menu > Advanced options (screenshot)
SUMMARY
The GRUB boot menu is currently only 400px wide. This is not enough for most
entries. For example:
"KDE neon User Edition GNU/Linux, with Linux 6.14.0-36-generic (recovery mode)
(on /dev/sdb2)"
In fact, this line will be cut like this:
"KDE neon User Edition GNU/Linux, with Linux 6.14."
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Start your computer and access the boot menu.
2. Check the main boot menu. There is already some cropping there. (see
attached screenshot)
3. Go to "Advanced options" and see how things get worst. (see attached
screenshot)
OBSERVED RESULT
The text display is incomplete, abruptly cut off.
EXPECTED RESULT
The text is clearly displayed.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE neon based on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
KDE Plasma Version: 6.5.3
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.20.0
Qt Version: 6.10.1
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
You simply need to modify the `theme.txt` file to double the width of the menu,
increasing it from 400px to 800px:
+ boot_menu {
left = 50%-400
width = 800
(I am working on a new GRUB theme. Coming soon...)
