GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 636529
Breaks with multiline/long commit messages
Last modified: 2013-06-13 13:53:50 UTC
Let's say I have the following commit message: " - Make the rendering progress dialog not a popup anymore; it was too invasive and didn't allow setting a title to indicate progress - Only put the time estimate in the progressbar, not the percentage (which goes in the titlebar) - Remove the duplicated updatePosition method in encodingdialog (see encodingprogress) - Show/hide/destroy windows in the right order for proper focus " When clicking that commit, gitg behaves strangely (jumps around etc) because it doesn't wrap lines. This is on a 1920x1200 monitor.
I've had this behaviour as well. It isn't just that gitg jumps around, but it also resizes itself to fit all of the message (even if the window is maximised, which I didn't think was possible). The jumping then seems to be an artefact of it being over the workspace edges and pushing itself to the 'correct' workspace on any action. At one point I was chasing gitg over all four of my desktops, wondering where it had gone with each click. With long messages, it ends up looking like this at times: http://img824.imageshack.us/i/gitgexplosion.jpg/ Originally that copy of gitg was just one desktop wide and maximised. I think it was also on the fourth workspace at first.
I get the same behavior on a 1920x1200 resolution monitor. I'm running Ubuntu 11.04 with gitg version 0.0.6 on 64bit from the Ubuntu repository
I've attached a patch for what seems to be a duplicate of this in #637880
I can't reproduce this bug with version 0.2.4.
Can't reproduce either in 0.2.5
