Description Evert Verhellen 2003-11-29 13:56:17 UTC 
If a drop-down widget has too many items to fit between the drop-down
widget and the bottom of the screen, there appears some whitespace above
the first item, which looks like a bug to me. I have so far only seen it in
The GIMP, though it may as well be an issue in GTK+.

 1. Start gimp-1.3.
 2. Press [Ctrl]+[N].
 3. Press [Enter].
 4. Press [Shift]+[Ctrl]+[S].
 5. Click on `By Extension'.

Actual Results:

See 1st screenshot.

Expected Results:

See 2nd screenshot.

Version details:
gimp-1.3.22-1.fr
gtk2-2.2.4-5.1

Comment 3 Simon Budig 2003-11-29 14:10:31 UTC 
This is intentional and a Feature of GTK+. The idea is, that you don't
accidentially switch the selected item by just pressing/releasing the
mouse button. You can access all items by scrolling the menu down.
Comment 4 Sven Neumann 2003-11-29 14:20:09 UTC 
The point is that GTK+ positions the selected menu item under the mouse.
Comment 5 Evert Verhellen 2003-11-29 14:45:16 UTC 
I understand the reasoning. Though, maybe the extraneous whitespace
shouldn't be displayed so that it doesn't look like a bug?
Comment 6 Sven Neumann 2003-11-29 14:51:23 UTC 
And then? Resize the window when the mouse moves to the bottom? I
don't think that would be an acceptable solution. However it doesn't
make sense to discuss this here further. If you think this is a
problem, open a bug-report against GTK+.
Comment 7 Evert Verhellen 2003-11-29 15:04:09 UTC 
Changing product to gtk+.

Marking as a duplicate instead of keeping this as a separate issue...
