GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 700022
app no longer fits half maximized
Last modified: 2014-04-17 17:47:13 UTC
I have a 1366 px wide display and the app no longer fits in half-maximized tile mode. I don't really see any reason why it shouldn't.
This might be because we set the minimum width to around 880px. In retrospect that should probably be a width request for the initial size rather than a minimum width.
I created a new windowsize branch, please test it. Problem is that per default we need more than 700 px in width, so I took the liberty to do some changes in that branch. Please try it

Review of attachment 247494 [details] [review]: Looks oversized on multi-monitor configurations
I think the problem here is that Albums view requires a width of 887px and a height 640px. It should have a scrolled window, and maybe make the album art in Albums view resizable (the view that shows up after selecting an album in Albums view is what I mean, which has a fixed size of 256x256 px). In my netbook, I can't maximize the window because of these hard limits - in particular the minimum limit for the height is 640px while my screen height is about 600px minus the GNOME Shell bar at the top.

Fixed in https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-music/commit/?id=541e2eb
For the main view, at the start of the application, it is fixed now. However, certain other views play an important role for the user, as example the view when the play widget at the bottom comes up, the album view, and probably others.
Steps to reproduce: Requirements: make sure you have a small screen (1024x600), or monitor the x and y coordinates in dconf-editor, to make sure the window always is below the size of ½ of 1024x600, so it fits half maxmized, what would be in this case 512x300 1. Open the application 2. Browse a song, or a music artist: Issue: the window is already too large, 3. Play a song: The play widget appears at the bottom of the screen, the window doesnt fit in height, not even if its dragged under the top panel. Issue: The play widget at the bottom is uncontrollable, as the height is bigger than 600 px.
Yes, fullscreen / size is still unstable and need some further fixes
Will the required changes/fixes appear in the GNOME 3.12 GNOME MUSIC release?
