GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 668830
wayland: clutter_stage_set_user_resizable not implemented
Last modified: 2021-06-10 11:34:18 UTC
A compositor could allow the user to resize the window through a key combination. Either we need a Wayland protocol to communicate that this window should not be resized or perhaps we should reject configures events telling us a surface size when we are not expecting them. The issue is that those configure events could originate from size decisions made by the compositor's logic rather than something generated by the user.
Emmanuele, what do you think we should do for this case?
looking at GDK and GTK, it seems that GTK only calls gdk_window_constrain_size() and sets the appropriate hints to let the window manager/compositor know not to allow user resizing — either directly through the window border, or through a key combination. I suspect it's pretty much the same behaviour we want for Clutter, assuming we're using the native Wayland backend instead of the GDK one.
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version of clutter, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/clutter/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
