Description Zack Cerza 2004-07-09 20:41:25 UTC 
Description of problem:
The magnifier covers the portion of the screen I need magnified. I
can't seem to move or resize it.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
0.8.1

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open gnopernicus
2. Enable the Magnifier
  
Actual results:
The magnifier covers roughly half the screen, including what I need
magnified. The window is not moveable or resizeable.

Expected results:
Something like xzoom, maybe?

Additional info:
0.9.5 is the latest version of gnopernicus. I don't know if it fixes
this bug.

Hi, the magnifier in gnopernicus is moveable/resizable.
After you enable magnifier you have to go in 
Preferences->Magnifier->Add/Modify
There you will get the "Zoomer Options" dialog where you will find the "Zoomer
Placement" options. 
Modifying these values will move/resize the magnifier.

Please tell me if this works for you.
Comment 2 Zack Cerza 2004-07-12 15:14:34 UTC 
Ah, I see there are some options. Top, Right, and Bottom work. Left doesn't...
odd. Anyway, is there a particular reason the window can't be resized in a more
sane manner? This coordinate-play doesn't seem very usable or accessible.
Comment 3 Dragan Sarbut 2004-07-12 15:32:47 UTC 
I am using the 0.9.5 version of gnopernicus and all "Zoomer placement" options
work for me .
When you change the LEFT "Zoomer Placement" option , try hiting ENTER after you
write the new value in the editbox. This should apply the changes.

There already is a rfe filed against gnopernicus #124526, requesting that the
magnifier shuld be able to be moved/resized using the mouse pointer.

I will close this bug, as an duplicate to bug #124526
