Rhythmbox takes more space than available on Eee 701SD

[Marc Tardif]

Binary package hint: rhythmbox

Rhythmbox is almost usable on a Eee 701SD which supports a resolution of 800 x 480 (16:10) by default. The window takes too much vertical space and maximizing doesn't workaround the problem. I have attached a screenshot for your convenience.

thank you for your bug report, usually such devices at least get 600 pixel to use, it's not clear that desktop applications can easily be adapted for such screens you might want to consider UNR or a special mobile interface

The ubuntu team doesn't have the ressources to work on this specific issue but it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug the to the people writting the software (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME)

This seems to have been fixed in Karmic, I have an Asus Eee 701 and maximizing the Rhythmbox window now yields the expected results. All the application is displayed and the scroll bars let me see everything.

Marc, could you confirm that it's fixed on karmic?

Both Jaunty and Karmic are no longer supported. Also, Banshee has replaced Rhythmbox as the standard music player in Natty and later.
