Gimp - "Select File Type" section in Save As dialog makes Save As dialog too large to fit screen.

[John Doe]

Binary package hint: gimp

When saving files in Gimp 2.2.13 in an installed Ubuntu 7.04 "Feisty Fawn" Beta setup at a configured 1024x768 screen resolution, expanding the File - Save As dialog section labeled "Select File Type" makes the Save As dialog be too tall and no longer fit the screen, making it impossible to click the "Save" button on the dialog without having to collapse the section.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Load Gimp..."Applications" menu, "Graphics", "GIMP Image Editor"

2. Create a new image ... "File" menu, "New...", then click the "OK" button.

3. In the new image window, click the "File" menu, then "Save as".

4. Click on the "Select File Type (By Extension)" section to expand it.

This is where it stretches the window vertically and makes it too tall to fit the screen.

5. Attempt to resize the window vertically using the top border of the window and resizing fails and the window stays the same height.

6. Collapse the "Select File Type (By Extension)" section by clicking on it.

Notice at this point that the Save As dialog does not return to a size where you can see the "Save" button. One has to manually resize the window vertically to see the Save button again.

I can confirm this behavior.
