Description Mikko Ohtamaa 2010-12-15 08:33:42 UTC 
Ubuntu 10.10.

Expected result:

Get good look on search results.

Actual results:

Frustrated scrolling to every direction.

The initial Window size is too small (1920x1200 screen) and Folder column is cut off. The user needs to do lot of unnecessary resize, scrolling, etc. for browsing the search results.

Suggestion

1) Maximize the window on launch

2) Have 640 x 400 size on launch

3) Adjust window size dynamically on launch (80% of screen size)

FYI.  When you resize the window, the tool stores it and uses the new size going forward.

gnome-search-tool is not under active development anymore.
Its codebase has been archived:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/Archive/gnome-search-tool/commits/master

Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping to reflect
reality. Please feel free to reopen this ticket (or rather reactivate the project
to GNOME Gitlab, as GNOME Bugzilla is deprecated) if anyone takes the
responsibility for active development again.
