GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 304145
strange text scaling in "view icons" mode
Last modified: 2005-05-14 09:02:08 UTC
Please describe the problem: Hi, as I'm obviously not the only one having this problem, I decided to post a bug report. The reason for posting a bug instead of a feature wish is the factthat the behaviour was normal (better in my and other mostly gentoo users eyes) in former Gnome versions... up to 2.8.3... Well, the point of the problem is that nautilus Icon scale feature also affects the text scaling. This is annoying since me hast 8 point Sans font for application text, such as the text in nautilus is... As I run Icon at 50%, the text is not readable any more, as it scales as well. Well, it is not even readable here at 75%. On Gnome 2.8.3, with 50% I was able to easily read the text, though I'm not sure, if it wasn't scaled at all... Another fact, that makes me think this as being a bug, is that the Desktop Icons are scaled as well, as being drawn by nautilus, but the Desktop font stays at its size... Hopefully you see this as a bug as well... Actually, if only Icons and not text is scaled, everybody could choose sizes independently of each other as pleased... Steps to reproduce: 1. setting in nautilus properties menu the scaling to 50% 2. font below or beside icons in "icon mode" is scaled as well Actual results: font gets to small to be read Expected results: a behaviour of former Gnome versions 2.4, 2.6, 2.8 Does this happen every time? Yes Other information:
