[humufr]

Binary package hint: wengophone

when I open wengophone I have an enormous window and I can't resize it. I have some error message who appeared on screen:

I am quite sure this is the same problem as bug #149491

Are you using compiz and amd64 architecture?

Thank you for reporting!

[humufr (humufr-deactivatedaccount)]

I'm not using compiz (it's not working with an ATI card on gutsy) and the architecture is x86.

[Ludovico Cavedon (cavedon)]

Ok.

Do you have window borders? Are you able to resize it?

Could you please attach the full wengophone output and a screenshot?

Thanks!

[humufr (humufr-deactivatedaccount)]

I have window border but can not resize it. Another remark, the beta version on wengo website are working fine (for the window, the sound it's another problem).

[Daniel Moyne (dmoyne)]

I confirm the same bug on WengoPhone with a huge horizontal window and a huge vertical window that cannot be resized.
Gutsy + "fglrx" 64 bits driver + Compiz

The same problem with OpenOffice writer with a confimation window that occupyes the whole sreen (fullscreen) and that cannot be neither moved with Alt+mouse and nor resized.

[Ludovico Cavedon (cavedon)]

Seems that the binary of version 2.1.1 from upstream does not have this issue. Note that they are shipping a private version of qt library. I'll do some checks.

[Diff Handy (ubuntu-verbena)]

Are both these bugs related to the arch?

I'm on a fresh install from an alt CD (ubuntustudio i386) and wengo has reproduced the big windows from the get go for me. Like https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/149491 I have a problem with the configuration window which always goes off the screen on a 1280x800 display and cannot be resized under metacity or compiz. Moving to get to the bottom is often hit and miss too but that's the wm respecting the gnome panel.

[Diff Handy (ubuntu-verbena)]

Damn. Here's the screenshot.

[Ludovico Cavedon (cavedon)]

In my case the problem appears only with the plastique theme.

Could you please run "qtconfig-qt4", change the GUI style to something else (like "Cleanlooks") and see if you still have this issue?

Thanks

[humufr (humufr-deactivatedaccount)]

I tried and yes it's working. I changed the style and I was able to nodify the size of the window. I tried to come back to plastick and it's working fine now. Perhaps it was a problem with the configuration in my home directory from feisty. Thanks.

[Ludovico Cavedon (cavedon)]

So if you now *start* wengophone when the theme setting is "Plastique" you do not have the problem any longer?

I am asking it, because, in my case, I can switch to plastique without any problem if wengohone is running, but I still have this issue if the setting is "plastique" when I start wengophone.

[humufr (humufr-deactivatedaccount)]

I tried to restart with the theme plastique and the problem came back but not with the theme cleanlooks.
