Window in sticky mode too small
Last modified: 2008-06-02 13:29:48 UTC
In sticky mode deskbar's window is way too small horizontally so only part of action names are shown (e.g. I get "Search foo with Go...") and doesn't resize vertically to accomodate for all actions (I have space for only 3 actions so I have to scroll the list which is bad). Other information:
Thanks for reporting this bug! The popup should resize to 80% of your window height (and it does on my machine). What resolution are you using?
I am using 1280x1024. What window height are you talking about?
I use 1280x800. Does the window height change when you enter a search term at all, or is it just too small?
When I click on deskbar's icon I get a popup that's pretty small horizontally, but has sufficient height. When I enter any search term it's height increases but only as much as to accomodate for only 3 actions. Could we clarify that in sticky mode window==popup?
Yes, in the sticky mode, the window is actually a popup in technical terms. Could you post a screenshot that illustrates the problem?

I use 1280x800 and I have the same issue. I post a couple of screenshots above.
I'm on 1280x800 and also have the same problem as sebastian - when searching with the "sticky" window, there is only enough room for the top two results.
I think it's somehow related to the number of results. I've just let Tracker index my home directory, and so I'm getting many more results than I did previously - the sticky resizes to accommodate them. If I enter a search term that only returns a handful of results, the sticky still stays too small though. Why can't it resize for all searches with more than two results?
This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report.
