Description Simon McVittie 2016-09-04 14:43:17 UTC 
On Bug #760944 I wrote:

"""
An optional refinement which is not implemented here, but would be nice, would be to draw a client-side bubble on Wayland with "80x24" (or whatever) while the window is being resized, similar to the one that Mutter would draw for us on X11.
"""

Debarshi Ray attached a patch to do just that (Attachment #326233 [details]), to which Christian Persch replied:

"""
I don't like this part.

IMHO gtk+ should add a GDK_WINDOW_STATE_IN_RESIZE (or so), and then we show/hide the size popup accordingly. That gets rid of the motion tracking, and also allows to show the size popup right on click before any motion (so you can use this to check the size, without resizing at all).

As for the overlay on the screen container, that might be easy since it's already a GtkOverlay, but placing the popup there makes it not centred on the window. Maybe just paint the size popup on terminal_window_draw directly on top?
"""

This is going to need new Gtk API, so cannot be backported to GNOME 3.20 as a regression fix, unlike the rest of Bug #760944.
