Some popup windows grow vertically every time that they are displayed

[Raphaël Hertzog]

Every time that I open the "new page" or "new sub-page" window, it gets a bit higher.
The same goes with the quicknote window.

See http://bugs.debian.org/770705 for the initial report in Debian. This is with zim 0.62 with a few patches backported from bzr.

Sorry for the long time-out -- cleaning up months of old mail.

Just tried to reproduce, but don't see the same behavior. Wondering if it may be theme related somehow.

[Raphaël Hertzog (hertzog)]

I don't think so, I have the default theme on GNOME Shell.

It might be window-manager related maybe... did you try it on GNOME with GNOME Shell ?

[Jaap Karssenberg (jaap.karssenberg)]

Yes, I'm using GNOME 3 with GNOME shell under Ubuntu (using some PPA to get
the GNOME Shell instead of Unity).

Reason I'm thinking about theming is that we ask the window for it's size
and store that in our state information. When we next show the same window,
we ask the window to render at that size. If the window keeps growing, that
suggests to me that there is a mismatch between the self-reported size of
the window, and the size it will get if you ask to render at that size. I
could imagine e.g. window border to be counted wrongly, etc. but this is
just a guess.

Regards,

Jaap

My theme is the "Adwaita" default theme. If you send me a patch that would
print out some debugging information about the reported window size, I can
compare it to the real size (as mesured by a screenshotting tool for
example).

Easiest test would be a small python script like: http://www.pygtk.org/pygtk2tutorial/examples/helloworld.py

Than add 2 lines, before and after the "main" function:

hello.window.set_default_size(300, 300)
hello.main()
print ">>", hello.window.get_size()

This should print the 300x300, or what ever you resized too while the window was running

FWIW I no longer experience this problem on Debian Stretch/Sid. I don't remember when it got fixed.

[Jaap Karssenberg (jaap.karssenberg)]

OK, in that case we leave it "incomplete" for now. Let it expire if no-one
else sees the same issue.
