Bug#355946: GTK frontend does not display correctly obj->info message in some circumstances
Package: cdebconf-gtk-udeb
Severity: normal
As also in the NEWT frontend happens, obj->info is displayed only if
it's not NULL: this check (and final displaying, if that's the case) is
triggered by the "expose_event" event sent to the widget containing the
banner.
As we have no WM system, such expose_event is currently triggered by
gtk_go() and gtk_progress_start() only: when a progressbar is started,
even if previously no questions were asked, for sure
gtk_progress_started() is called, so i wonder why obj->info is not
rendered at all.
Assuming the rendering mechanism is correct, i suppose that obj->info is
set AFTER gtk_progress_start() is called and before the gtk_go() call.
By the way, today i noticed the mechanism that renders the obj->info
message doesn't render the text in a clean way in some circumstances,
but "overwrites" old text if this has changed -> for sure some work has
to be done here.
