GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 449462
side panel after broadened can not be smaller again
Last modified: 2008-09-06 12:36:01 UTC
The side panel can not be made smaller again after it has been broadened with a pdf opened. It seems to happen after the side panel reaches a imaginary threshold width. Even restarting evince does not fix the problem. I can fix it with: rm ~/.gnome2/evince/ev-metadata.xml
Same problem here.
Can you please estimate the width? is it 1000 pixels or something like? I can't reproduce it
Apparently this is related to the thumbnails' columns displayed. If evince displays the thumbnails in a single column, the minimal side pane's size is "1 column." Then, if I broaden the pane so that evince displays TWO columns, the minimal size becomes "2 column," and so on, "3 column," "4 column," etc. etc. Until I pass the imaginary line after which another column of thumbnails appears I can still tighten the pane; if I pass it, that line becomes the new minimal size.
No, I can't reproduce it. I can make thumbnails in two columns but I can shrink sidebar again to make it single column. What gtk version are you using btw?
gtk+ 2.10.13, evince 0.8.1

Looks like a following change was the reason http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=418047
Hmm, I haven't quite figured out why this works as expected in testiconview, and doesn't in evince. The real fix for situations like these is probably extended layout with width-for-height. For now, what you can do to get the old behaviour back is to gtk_widget_set_size_request (icon_view, 1, 1)

This issue poses a big problem for Evince, since the sidebar cannot be smaller again. This makes the application unusable. Raising severity.

works correctly using the current GNOME and no recent duplicate, closing the bug
