GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 567712
Import local folder dialog is sometimes very small
Last modified: 2009-02-22 06:46:01 UTC
Occasionally, when opening the import local folder dialog (Media->Import Media->Local Folder->Import Media Source), the dialog window opens with dimensions of about 300x300. I can reproduce it reliably, but with no apparent pattern. It appears to have something to do with shortcuts; if I comment out the call to `FileImportSource.SetChooserShortcuts()` in `FolderImportSource.cs`, the dialog opens correctly every time. The error occurs even if all the banshee-specific code is removed from `FolderImportSource.Import()`, but if the code is then copied into a stand-alone application, the error does not occur. This might be a bug in GTK+ or GTK#, but Banshee is the only application in which I can reproduce it.
Are you running compiz ? I've noticed strange things with my file chooser dialogs since I'm running it, but I haven't looked into it.
I'm using Metacity, without compositing.
It's not tied to what folder it shows by default? Is it 100% consistently tied to the SetChooserShortcuts call being there?
In can happen in any folder. If I comment out the call to `SetChooserShortcuts()`, the window always opens at the correct size.
I've seen this in Banshee, but since upgrading to Ubuntu 8.10, I've noticed this type of behavior in many application dialogues that let the user browse folders. If you've found a specific part of Banshee's code that affects this, then maybe my issue is something different.
The symptoms look very similar to bug 551209.
You're correct, this is the same bug. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 551209 ***
