GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 551358
Sidebar width and panel slider positions not as before after unmaximizing and maximizing again
Last modified: 2021-05-19 12:13:49 UTC
Please describe the problem: When the evolution window is narrowd , the folders column is narrowed apropriately. However, it does not come back to its normal size afterwards, when the window is widened again. This is especially painful with tiling window managers, because resizing happens all the time. However, I believe this affects other users too. In my opinion, the best solution would be to have the option to block all resizing, maybe through an option on the context menu of the separation bar (which is used to resize the column manually). Steps to reproduce: 1. Narrow the evolution window 2. Make it big again 3. The folders column is compressed, unreadable Actual results: Expected results: Does this happen every time? yes Other information:
Changing component to Shell and adjusting summary since this happens in all views. Probably due to the fact that GtkPaned tracks the pane position in pixels rather than as a percentage of the window width. Shrinking the window forces the two panes to renegotiate their sizes, but expanding the window doesn't so they stay as is.
The patch in bug #58952 would add the functionality we need to GtkPaned.

GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/Community/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new bug report ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
