Position "delta" display forces GTK HID window to grow

[Peter Clifton]

The non-shrinking "delta" readout in the top bar of PCB's GTK HID prevents the toplevel window shrinking below what is quite a large size.

In general, it would be nice if PCB would support resizing to arbitrarily small sizes.

hmmm... perhaps those windows could become shrinkable if the "alternate layout for smaller horizontal size" preference is checked?

Changed the width of the relative coordinate label.

By changing the single line label into a multi line label,
width is traded for height.

Kind regards,

Allow the coordinate position_hbox to expand and fill.

By allowing to fill and expand, shrinking becomes possible.

Kind regards,

Bert Timmerman.

Removed padding pixels.

Optional patch for those who need every obsolete pixel to be removed.

To be applied after:

Patches starting with 0001 are interchangeable.

I'm done for now, please review and test the above patches.

BTW: Launchpad could really use a status "Review Patches".
