Unity/Mir causes Motif dialog window shrunk

[john ferrier]

Ubuntu 13.10 64bit version.

Nedit is a text editor based on Motif and I have used it for many year on various systems (Redhat *, OpenSuSe *, Ubuntu 9.10 ~13.10) and never have any problem.

However, after I ugraded my OS from Ubuntu 13.04 to 13.10, I noticed some wierd things related with the Find/Replace dialog window of Nedit. For example, if I press "ctrl+F" (shortcut for Finding string in file.), the dialog appears normal. However, as I use the finding function more and more, the dialog window appears in a smaller and smaller size.

So for me it seems something wrong in the current version of Unity and Mir.

You can find Nedit in Ubuntu's Software Center.

If you need any information, please let me know.

Thank you.

Even XMir doesn't affect individual window sizes. XMir and Mir both only deal with the whole screen.

Please try removing package unity-system-compositor and let us know if the problem persists.

I found unity-system-compositor is not installed in my system. So it's purely a Unity bug.

Tried Ubuntu-gnome-desktop-13.10-beta2-amd64 and found no such a problem.
