GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 319402
resize properties window
Last modified: 2018-05-22 13:06:13 UTC
evince should resize the pdf window width according to the fields length. See the contrast between gpdf and evince properties windows (attached).

Perhaps not a good idea because you will have quickly a bigger than screen box that you couln't close easily!
I don't see any problem with this, since the information window is closed with the Enter key. And I think it is easier by far than the resizing the info window (Alt+F10 doesn't work for this window). At least for me it is easier.

I don't think bug 528455 is a duplicate of this bug. According to my screenshot, my issue was that the window is too narrow for one of the fields. And according to Pedro's description the properties window is too wide. I guess then that this bug has been fixed and the other one should be fixed with the solution suggested by Pedro. Thanks for your work, Pablo

The issue is that nautilus property page includes this page as well and it can be expanded that easy.
