When Deleting Lots Of Untracked Files From Status Windows Confirmation Box Is Illegible #895

Description

When you delete a large number of (untracked) files from within the Status windows menu, the "Delete Files?" confirmation window is illegible as the file names are listed one after the other. On my Ubuntu 18.04 system which running git-cola inside Snap this causes the Cancel and Delete Files buttons to be off the screen.

To recreate the issue, start within a git repository and then

mkdir testFiles
cd testFiles/
touch aFile{0001..0100}.tmp

Now view the files from inside the snap application

snap run git-cola &

Select all the new files, right click to bring up the menu and choose "Delete Files...". You should observe a confirmation box that runs outside the limits of your display (unless you have a very very wide display).

Version as reported in the application.
