Bug Description

Binary package hint: totem

Before visiting Launchpad bug #84757 I was not even aware that you could resize audio. But when I do, it also shrinks the playlist in the sidebar, so narrow I cannot see what I'm listening to, That's not right. Probably it should simply keep the current dimensions for the sidebar; or, if it resizes it, make it just wide enough to display all the information.

Stretching the window causes the logo window to grow, but even if I resize it back to the smallest Totem will allow, pressing "1" again causes the sidebar to shrink.

Gutsy with (... mumble ...) Totem 2.20.0-0ubuntu3

Thanks for your report, I don't see where the bug is, according to your screenshot it show the info in the sidebar and also it show the information about the song in the title bar and you can always use the scrollbars to see the full name of the songs/videos. may you elaborate a little more? thanks.

I consider it a bug that it resizes the sidebar at all, when what I requested was resizing the video pane. Particularly if I just spent some combination of physical and mental effort on making the sidebar just large enough to actually see where I am in the playlist.

If I cared only about the current playlist entry, I should be looking in the title bar, not in the sidebar, don't you think? And scrollbars are a usability abhorrence, so it's actually more of a bug than a feature that I can (and must) use them.
