Description Baptiste Mille-Mathias 2012-03-02 07:55:46 UTC 
Currently in a LTR environment, the documents in grid view are left-aligned, and the space between the left inner window border and the first document is different than the space between the last document and the right inner window border. That's a little bit un-aesthetic.

Using a centered view is much nicer Imho.

You can have a sight at https://live.gnome.org/Design/Apps/Documents the other implementation use a centered view.

Comment 2 Allan Day 2012-11-05 18:06:07 UTC 
A better approach might be to scale the grid to fit the space.

Comment 4 Debarshi Ray 2014-03-28 13:00:29 UTC 
We need GtkFlowBox for this. The widget is now available in GTK+. Now we need a model to fill in the data for the flow box, and the ability to re-use the same "view widget" for different rows in the model so that we don't need 10000 widgets to render 10000 documents.
Comment 5 Bastien Nocera 2015-12-09 12:54:37 UTC 
Renamed the bug. Using GtkFlowBox is the way to avoid the right-hand gutter.
Comment 6 GNOME Infrastructure Team 2021-07-05 11:30:44 UTC 
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, then please follow
  https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines
and create a new ticket at
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-documents/-/issues/

Thank you for your understanding and your help.
