Description Omer Akram 2010-03-18 15:47:40 UTC 
If using the default theme in Lucid with 9px fonts and I reduce the width of contact list to minimum the contact list looks as attached in the image. People at launchpad thinks its empathy issue and not the theme

Does it happen only with this theme? I can't reproduce it.

If it does, I'd be tempted to say that's either a theme or a GTK+ issue...
Comment 3 Omer Akram 2010-03-18 17:09:35 UTC 
Yes it only happens with the new theme. here is the comment made downstream.
"resize a GNOME Character Map window , the toolbar elements wont allow it to be reduced to anything smaller.

and this is not a theme bug.The theme uses the option:

style "menu-item"
{
 xthickness = 0

If this size is increased to 2 or greater than 2 this problem wont be noticed , since the menu items will have more space. and the wider menubar will prevent the window from becoming smaller.
This will happen for any theme which uses less padding[=0] for the menu items and changing this in the default theme is not the solution.

The problem here is Empathy allows the window to be resized to smaller size , and stops only when the _menubar_ size has been reached. Empathy needs to set the minimum size according to the widgets width it uses and not menubar size.
If Emapthy forces a size it would prevent the widget from disappearing."
