Description Brent Smith (smitten) 2006-08-06 04:16:05 UTC 
In the dictionary program, when searching for a word that the dictionary can't find, it brings up a sidebar on the right with a list of similar words to look up.

The problem is the text "Similar Words" is overlayed with the close button.  I will attach a screenshot in PNG format.

it's because the width of the window it's not enough to show both the definition box and the side bar; since the content of the side bar is a GtkTreeView, and those widgets are not keen enough on us when telling their minimum size, something like this happens.

I'll force a minimum size of the speller widget that should override this particular issue, but it might make the window a bit larger than needed.

Confirming because of the duplicate.
Comment 5 Emmanuele Bassi (:ebassi) 2014-11-02 10:44:57 UTC 
this was a bug caused by GTK+ 2.x, because widgets could be resized to be smaller than their requested size. GTK+ 3.x does not allow that any more.
