multiline gtk.Label ignores xalign=0.5
- by thomas
A gtk.Label can't be aligned in center when line-wrap is turned on. Example code:
import pygtk
pygtk.require('2.0')
import gtk
class testwin(gtk.Window):
def __init__(self):
gtk.Window.__init__(self)
width,height = 300,300
self.set_size_request(width,height)
self.set_position(gtk.WIN_POS_CENTER)
self.set_title("test window")
label = gtk.Label("test text")
label.set_line_wrap(True)
label.set_justify(gtk.JUSTIFY_CENTER)
label.set_alignment(0.5,0.5)
label.connect("size-allocate",lambda l,s: l.set_size_request(s.width-1, -1))
self.add(label)
self.connect("destroy", gtk.main_quit)
self.show_all()
testwin()
gtk.main()
It looks like this, that means, it's aligned left: http://m45.img-up.net/?up=pic122x97.png
If you comment out line 14 (set_line_wrap) everything is perfectly fine: http://o54.img-up.net/?up=pic2y00p9.png
Please note that yalign works fine. So it seems like the first argument in the gtk.Misc.set_alignment-function has no effect when line wrap is turned on.
Using Fedora 16, 64bit, gtk 3.2.4, pygtk 2.24.0, python 2.7.2
Question: Is this intended or a bug? How is it supposed to be made or is a workaround available?
