Description Michael Monreal 2008-01-25 12:39:40 UTC 
The dialog window "jumps" to a bigger size every time when it is opened. Either no or a too small default size is given. Setting a size that prevents the dialog from having to auto-resize just after starting would fix this "glitch".
Comment 1 André Klapper 2008-01-25 13:48:11 UTC 
what dialog?
Comment 2 Michael Monreal 2008-01-25 13:55:03 UTC 
Wow... sorry for filing such a messy bug! I was talking about the preferences window, so s/dialog/preferences
Comment 3 Matthew Barnes 2008-03-03 13:20:26 UTC 
I think it gets shown before it's done loading all the dynamic content.
May not be so trivial to fix; adjusting severity.
Comment 4 Matthew Barnes 2008-03-11 00:36:49 UTC 
Bumping version to a stable release.

demo screencast

this bug in turn causes a bigger fuckup for anyone with a modest resolution, such as 1024x768, as demonstrated in this short screencast. Because the window is drawn before being populated, it resizes itself, but that also means that the window manage *calculates its window placement wrong*.

Result? the thing jumps offscreen because the window manager (or evolution, or buddah, or whatever controls the placement) thinks it is smaller than it actually is. Urk.

This is now fixed on the kill-bonobo branch, and is a dupe of bug #272967.
