    Is there an existing issue for this?

    • I have searched the existing issues

    Current behaviour

    It’s difficult to see how many blocks remain to be downloaded.

    Expected behaviour

    It should be possible to see how many blocks are remaining.

    Possible solution1:

    Make message re-sizeable.
    Make message screen larger in width.
    Make message description shorter.
    Make it possible to copy & paste the text so the user can paste it elsewhere to get a better idea.
    Make the text scrollable, perhaps by using an edit box instead of label.
    Display the number of blocks remaining in a special control/edit box so that even if the text is long and overwrites it it will go under it and now over it.
    

    Initial screen:

    BlocksRemainingFallsOffScreenWithDutchLanguageSetting

    Secondary screen after a while:

    BlocksRemainingFallsOffScreenWithDutchLanguageSettingNext

    Steps to reproduce

    Method 1:

    1. Install bitcoin on a dutch Microsoft Windows version.
    2. Start bitcoin to download new blocks.
    

    Method 2:

    1. Change bitcoin language settings to dutch.
    2. Restart bitcoin.
    3. Try and download new blocks.

    Make message re-sizeable.

    You can still resize the main window from image to image

    A few additional notes.

    What version of Bitcoin Core are you using?

    22.0

    I assume you downloaded your Bitcoin Core from https://bitcoin.org/en/bitcoin-core/

    If so, please be advised that the Bitcoin Core project website is https://bitcoincore.org/, where you can find the latest versions:

    Is your question about screenshots or about websites?

    I read this:

    https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/101495/is-bitcoin-org-or-bitcoincore-org-the-one-to-trust

    So it seems bitcoin core developers moved to bitcoincore.org.

    I see bitcoin.org is linking to an older version 22 ? Why is this ? any idea ?

    Perhaps, bitcoin.org maintainers have their own view on how Bitcoin clients should be updated :)

    I notice 22 freezes a lot, any idea if 23 is better ? :)

    The most recent version, which is v24.0.1 for now, is better.

    Can your initial issue be considered as resolved?

    I think not, it should be made such that it can display it properly… either re-size the screen such that it is default a little bit wider… or modify it somehow.

    It wasn’t clear I could resize it, perhaps I tried it and it didn’t work.

    I did try and re-size it, but I tried to resize the inner screen, not the outer screen.

    So it’s weird to have to re-size the outer screen to re-size the inner screen that makes 0% sense…

    Perhaps a “normal” window/form should be used instead of this pop-up, it clearly has usuability issues :(
