window: Make resize-grip depend on scrollbar (2.72 KB, patch)

Description Wouter Bolsterlee (uws) 2011-07-09 11:53:45 UTC 
My gnome-terminal windows have neither a menu bar nor a scroll bar. Since Gtk 3, GtkWindow shows a resize grip by default on windows, causing the bottom right of my otherwise clean terminal window to show a light triangle (the grip), hiding the text in the bottom right of the window.

May I suggest to disable the resize grip if the scrollbar is hidden (or on the left side of the window)?

This is pretty annoying.  I'm surprised it's still marked UNCONFIRMED as it seems there are various postings all over the place — mostly in the wrong place of course (debian bugtracker, etc).

window: Make resize-grip depend on scrollbar

The window's resize-grip interferes with the content if it is not
placed underneath the scrollbar, so hide the grip if the scrollbar
is moved to the opposite side or hidden.

I don't really like how switching tabs (one tab's profile with scrollbars on, one off) will hide/show the grip... maybe we should just always hide it? Or the scrollbar position setting should be a global one, not per-profile? (I removed the 'left' option on the 'gsettings' branch already, just on/off now there.)

+1 for this bug.

Annoying!

At least an option should be provided to control whether to show the grip.

Seems like Florian Müllner's patch should work, though haven't test it myself.

Please merge the patch and close this issue.
