Description Kaveri 2004-02-06 10:24:49 UTC 
1. Open Gedit 
2. Select File -> open option

Observation: The file selector dialog which comes up is too small. 
Under "File name" only part of the first directory name is visible. This 
is with application font at "10". for fontsize greateer than 10, the file 
list is not visible. 

The user HAS to resize the dialog to select even the first/second file in 
the list. And the user has to resize the dialog everytime he selecs the 
File->Open option. Gedit does not remember the previous set size. 

Expected Behaviour: The initial size of the file selector dialog should 
display atleast 4-5 files/directories. 

EOG's File selector seems to be ok.
Comment 1 Paolo Maggi 2004-02-12 11:37:58 UTC 
gedit is not setting the file selector size, it is using the default
size provided by gtk+.
The problem is hence due to gtk+ (see bug #129020).

BTW, this bug is a major annoyance for the user -> marking as Major

Bug #129020 got fixed; can this be closed now?
