GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 601208
missing scrollbars for overflowing contents in some preferences tabs
Last modified: 2010-04-05 03:43:42 UTC
Created attachment 147234 [details] screenshots I know bug #267787 exists, but I'm not sure what I am seeing here is to be considered the same thing or not, in the sense that the solution seems simpler (I think): add auto scrollbars in the offending tabs. Basically, Evo's prefs dialog *almost* works fine in 1024x600, because most contents fit in roughly 500px high, or have scrollbars. Only some tabs do not have scrollbars (see attached serie of screenshots). Fixing this would simply be a matter of adding an automatic gtk scrollbar to all tabs? (I can't provide a patch sadly) I searched around for other bugs regarding scrollbars, did not find any, so if I missed one or if it's really the same issue as bug #267787, feel free to mark as a duplicate.
Closing as WONTFIX. Scroll bars are not the right solution to the overloaded preferences window. Most likely it would only encourage making the problem worse.
