Description Dominik Kopp 2009-08-24 09:33:30 UTC
I called echo test three times and the window width is too often too big.

My test case ("show call panel" is inactive)

1. starting ekiga 3.2.5 - width is 232 (OK)
2. do echo test - width is 639 (OK)
3. clearing the call - width is 369  (should be 232 again)
4. do echo test - width is 871 (grow wider than before)
5. clearing the call - width is 417 (grow more wider than before)
6. do echo test - width is 1103 (wow, how large)
7. clearing the call - width is 232 (OK)
8. repeat with 2.

Expected behavior:
- Before placing a call memorize the window width.
- After clearing the call restore the old memorized window width.

We had this problem, bug #551923.  I think we should find a consensus here, for how to set the window size, do you have an idea, Dominik?

Is it on windows or gnu/linux?
Comment 2 Dominik Kopp 2009-08-24 18:55:57 UTC
It's Windows and Linux.
The test results in comment #1 were made under Linux.

The behavior depends on the video size:
- 176x144: at each call the window becomes bigger and bigger. (Linux & Windows)
- 320x240: under Linux mostly OK, under Windows nearly never OK.
- 352x288: Linux OK, Windows mostly OK.
- 640x480: Linux mostly OK. Windows sometimes OK (normally it growths each time).

"OK" means it looks like as in http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=551923#c3 described (if I understand correctly) and it's IMHO a good solution.

"mostly OK" means for every 4th or 5th call the window was too big. (about 100 pixels). The next call was OK. I minor issue I think.

This is no longer relevant, as since about 6 months calling window has been separated from contact list window.
