Pidgin status icon on vertical panel does not scale properly

[kuscsik]

Binary package hint: pidgin

The pidgin status icon in notification area placed on a vertical panel does not adopt the width of the panel. The icon is much larger than any other status icon.

DistroRelease: Ubuntu 7.10
Package: pidgin 1:2.0.2-0ubuntu1
PackageArchitecture: i386
ProcCmdline: pidgin

Thanks for your bug report!

I can't replicate this. However, I'm not using the official package from Gutsy, so I'll leave this open for someone other to check it.

I post a screenshot of my desktop.

[Siegfried Gevatter (rainct)]

Okay, thanks. That's a vertical panel, not horizontal...

I still don't have this problem but as I said I've not the official package so let's wait for someone other to confirm it.

I am getting the same bug on Kubuntu 7.04 using Pidgin 2.0.2 built from source. My panel size is large so 2 rows of icons normally fit. This seems to happen only when it is run on startup, since quitting out of pidgin and restarting fixes the issue.

[Kliment Yanev (yanev)]

confirmed on Gutsy, icon size is corrected if the panel is switched to horizontal then to vertical again

[John S (jcspray)]

Confirmed on Gutsy latest.
 - To reproduce the panel must be vertical at the time that pidgin is started
 - Unlike David Fraska, if I quit and restart pidgin repeatedly during a session it continues to display the over-sized icons.

I'm also getting the bug in Kubuntu 7.04. It only happens on startup. I suspect that the bug may be related to the fact that Pidgin usually loads before knetworkmanager and is therefore trying to connect to the Internet before a network connection has been established. If I close Pidgin and restart it the icon is displayed at the correct size.

I have this problem in kubuntu gutsy, with a horizontal panel (bottom). I can fix it by moving the panel to the right side, then moving it back again. sometimes when it starts it figures it out itself anyway. let me know if I can provide any more info.

[Nate Gingras (suboscillator)]

Confirmed - issue does not go away when I manipulate the panel or close/reopen Pidgin. Stays big all the time. Screenshot of notification area attached.

[naught101 (naught101)]

this is still the same in version 2.3.1 (unnofficial .deb from getdeb.net)

Launchpad need and importance rating of "severely annoying"

[Felix (apoapo)]

still the same in 2.4.1. unfortunately its really annoying. it helps to start pigdin 2 (or more) times and then close the last instance(s).

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

is that still an issue in jaunty?

[naught101 (naught101)]

I've been running jaunty with pidgin for the last few months, and I haven't
noticed the problem. I'd say it's probably fixed.

cheers
