Window does not maximize correctly in Gnome. It does in KDE

[Miguel Telleria de Esteban]

I am using freeciv 2-1-3 (hardy) backported to ubuntu Gutsy. I have done the backport myself and I only backported the freeciv source package, therefore using Gutsy's Gnome and GTK environment

When I try to maximize the Freeciv 2-1-3 window the maximize button seems to be ignored, I can only resize the window manually horizontally but not vertically.

As a result, on a 1024x768 resolution, I cannot see all the chatting and message area below unless I move the window with Alt+Mouse (hiding the main menu above). I cannot make the map area appear smaller to make more room for the message area neither.

This behaviour does not appear in gutsy's KDE (3.5.8 I think) and neither with freeciv-2.0-9 in Gnome gutsy's native version.

It might be a Gnome/GTK transition issue but I would like to see if there is other solution than backporting Gnome/Gtk from hardy (which I am beginning to consider). I will of course end-up upgrading the whole distribution to hardy but I cannot do this in the forecoming days for other reasons.

Thanks for any hints or help on this.

Regards,

Thanks for the report, it has been some time without any response or feedback in this bug report and we are wondering if this is still an issue for you with the latest release of Ubuntu the Natty Narwhal, May you please test with that version and comment back if you're still having or not the issue? Please have a look at http://www.ubuntu.com/download to know how to install that version.Thanks in advance.

Hello,

I don't have any Ubuntu Natty at hand since I migrated to Debian two years ago. However some colleagues have still a 10.04 version and if I find the time I will take a look and retest.

In the meantime if someone could do the test it would be great. The steps to reproduce the bug where:

1. Change the screen resolution to 1024x768
2. Open freeciv
3. Set the size of the window manually
4. Maximize

In ubuntu Gutsy the maximize action was ignored (as far as I can remember).
