GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 746950
Menu item tooltip changes height of status bar
Last modified: 2015-04-01 13:02:49 UTC
In evolution 3.16.x some content when shown in the status bar changes its height and produces strange jumping effects of some parts of the interface. One way to reproduce this is to go to menu bar and go over different menus and its options, when some option displays its description in status bar, status bar changes its size and makes strange jumping effects. I'm using default gnome/gtk themes. gtk3-3.16.0-1.fc22.x86_64 evolution-help-3.16.0-1.fc22.noarch evolution-data-server-3.16.0-1.fc22.x86_64 evolution-ews-3.16.0-1.fc22.x86_64 evolution-3.16.0-1.fc22.x86_64
Thanks for a bug report. It's because your theme has too tall "stop" icon (with its margins), the one used in the status bar to cancel the ongoing task. It forces the status bar to be taller, to not have the icon clipped. The change was done within bug #736824, but I overlooked this side-effect (also because I do not use such theme like Adwaita). In any case, fixed for the next release: Created commit 11803d8 in evo master (3.17.1+) Created commit d69597d in evo gnome-3-16 (3.16.1+)
