GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 599887
Graph sizes are not refreshed when changed by Alt-arrows
Last modified: 2009-10-29 13:09:50 UTC
Start Gnumeric. Click on 'Insert a Chart' icon (or Insert -> Chart... in menu). In the appeared window, click on Insert. Drag-and-drop inside the spreadsheet to determine the size of a created graph. The created graph is selected and has 8 handles to change its size. When a mouse pointer goes over one of those handles, a small pop-up window appears with size of the graph shown in it (mine is 132.4x117.1 pts, 229x202 pixels). Put a mouse pointer so that you see the pop-up window. 1. Change the size of the graph by pressing e.g. Alt/right-arrow. At the first resize operation, the font in the graph and relative size of the chart in the graph changes. 2. The size of the graph in the pop-up window is not refreshed to the new values. You can resize the graph quite significantly, it stays the same. It is refreshed only when the mouse pointer moves away and comes again over one of the handles. This makes adjusting graph sizes more difficult. 3. (This was observed under Gnome/Metacity, in FreeBSD.) The pop-up has a property of staying on top in all desktops. Try to switch desktop by e.g. Alt/Ctrl/arrow, or switch focus to another program by Alt/Tab, the pop-up stays on top. Points 1 and 2 are tested in FreeBSD (gnumeric 1.9.14) and Windows (1.9.12).

I see that, or at least something like that. > 2. The size of the graph in the pop-up window is not refreshed to the new > values. You can resize the graph quite significantly, it stays the same.
