GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 111714
Window sizing
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
Pan displays its window larger than my screen size. It is possible to adjust the height of the main window in the normal way with the mouse, but not its width. I have to drag the whole window to the left to be able to see and use the scroll bars on the right. Maximising or not makes no difference. The Preferences dialog box is also too big for my screen, and can only be adjusted in width, not height. This means that the ¨ÖK¨ and ¨Cancel¨ buttons are not visible, even if I drag the box as high as I can get it (and hide the taskbar), and I have to use keystrokes, and guess when the focus is on the ¨OK¨ button. Once again, maximising or not makes no difference. In both cases, I know that the Linux display setup is OK, because: 1. It is a standard (800x600) X windows setup, done directly from install, without any fiddling with the configuration files. 2. Pan is the only program that does this. Rob Bedford

From the screenshot above, Pan's main window fits -- barely --in an 800x600 window, even when competing for space with gnome-panel. So I don't think the main window needs to be addressed. However, as can be seen from the prefs window screenshot, the dialog button's aren't even visible in 800x600. This needs to be fixed.

Looks like the height is coming from the color tab. Perhaps the quoted text could be pushed into a single line, with "Quoted Text" on the left and three color buttons on the right, similar to the to foreground/background buttons on the score lines...
Fixed in CVS, by moving the quoted buttons all into the same line: http://cvs.gnome.org/bonsai/cvsview2.cgi?diff_mode=context&whitespace_mode=show&subdir=pan/pan&command=DIFF_FRAMESET&file=prefs.c&rev1=1.348&rev2=1.349&root=/cvs/gnome
