eog window size exceeds screen height

[Mahendra Tallur]

* IMPACT *
Eye of gnome (eog), sometimes has a window size that exceeds the screen height, which makes the bottom of the window (mostly the status bar) invisible.

* HOW TO REPRODUCE *
1. Open this image with eye of gnome:
   http://pinkie.ponychan.net/chan/files/src/136745379914.png

(Note: it is not guaranteed to trigger the bug on every resolution, but should work for the most common screen resolutions)

* REGRESSION POTENTIAL *
The patch is short and simple, has a limited (if not null) potential to regression.
But it could:
 - Generate strange / inadequate window size when viewing an image in eye of gnome
 - Other problems related to window/view/image size when viewing an image in eye of gnome

[Mahendra Tallur (mahen)]

It turned out this issue only occurs when Compiz is enabled.

Maybe I shouldn't have filed a report against eog upstream then. I still haven't noticed any other app affected by this behaviour though.

[Mahendra Tallur (mahen)]

See below a screenshot of what occurs when compiz is enabled in Maverick beta : the eog window is oversized, thus one cannot see the bottom of the picture nor its status bar. It happens with all pictures that do not fit the screen and have to be resized by eog.

Should I file a bug against Compiz also ? I don't know if Compiz or eog is the culprit... I reported it upstream (eog) but no one seems aware of this bug.

i came across this bug today in ubuntu 10.10 32-bit desktop edition and can confirm. a quick and dirty workaround is to use the CompizConfig Settings Manager (ccsm) to enable the Window Rules Plugin, then add "name-eog" in the maximized dialogue.

This is obviously not the desired behavior, but for now it's much better than the image falling off the bottom of the screen.

[bc81 (bc81)]

sorry, i meant to type name=eog (equals instead of hyphen)

[Hagen (hagenf)]

confirmed on Maverick 64-bit with Compiz

[emas (vugene)]

Encountered with eog on Maverick 32-bit with compiz on a screen resolution of 1024x600.

Also occurred for gthumb and something else that I can't remember right now.

[gmcd (gmcd)]

confirmed on Maverick 64-bit without Compiz or any other compositing manager, installed latest system updates

[Nemes Ioan Sorin (nemes-sorin)]

this bug is gone in Natty with compiz downgraded back to 0.8.6 and no
Unity and no Ubuntu Desktop ..just Ubuntu base

BWT ..in this configuration work as fast as 10.10 ..but with Unity
hmm slow (in a high speed machine)

Confirmed in Papercuts.

[Chris Wilson (notgary-deactivatedaccount)]

It's been a while since this bug was reported. Is this still an issue in 12.04?

[MartinMario (martins1995)]

It still happens in my 64bit install of Precise with Unity (so, Compiz is used), as you can see on the screenshot.

[Nemes Ioan Sorin (nemes-sorin)]

...hmm I was thinking that for GNOME 3 technology they will improve
the toolkit, at least the basic functionality of the window layers ;)
Should be trivial to fix such problem in a windows 32/64 environment
but seems that is impossible with GNU tools ;)
now I'm really curios if EOG developers can fix this long standing
bug, which really make me to stop using EOG.

Question in upstream bug:
"This bug was reported against a version which is not supported any more.
Developers are no longer working on this version so there will not be any bug
fixes for it.
Can you please check again if the issue you reported here still happens in a
recent version of GNOME and update this report by adding a comment and
adjusting the 'Version' field?

Again thank you for reporting this and sorry that it could not be fixed for the
version you originally used here.

Without feedback this report will be closed as INCOMPLETE after 6 weeks."
Please someone who is experiencing this bug, confirm this upstream on a more recent version of EOG if this still exists.

[Martin Thorsager (thorsager84)]

Just thought I'd like to add, that it doesn't work in 12.04 32-bit as well (eog version 3.4.2)

[shclim (shclim)]

I'm also having this problem in 12.10 (eog version 3.6.0)

[chag (chagam)]

Hi,

I have the same problem. I'm using a Matrox TripleHead so I have 3 screens. EOG open on the center screen and uses the width of both right screens. Ubuntu 12.10, fresh install

[Leonardo Donelli (learts92)]

Confirming the bug on default Ubuntu 13.04 installation, eog 3.6.2-0ubuntu1.

[Leonardo Donelli (learts92)]

I provided Felix Riemann (eog developer) the output he requested. Hopefully it will help him (or anyone) fix the bug.
The upstream bug: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=630512

[Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre (cyphermox)]

This isn't Fix Committed though, since it's not in the Ubuntu queue or anything -- resetting to Triaged .

[Leonardo Donelli (learts92)]

Ops, sorry, I forgot to update.
Immediately after my last message I started working on a patch. Turns out it was quite trivial, and I've produced one I proposed upstream (which already has a positive review) and I asked what to do downstream in IRC (#unbutu-desktop).
cyphermox and robru reviewed my patch, considered it good enough and suitable to SRU, and cyphermox is currenly packaging it.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

This bug was fixed in the package eog - 3.6.2-0ubuntu2

---------------
eog (3.6.2-0ubuntu2) saucy; urgency=low

  * debian/patches/0001-Set-better-window-size.patch: better figure out a scale
    factor for images that have a bigger height than screen size when taking
    into account window decoration. Thanks Leonardo Donelli!. (LP: #646798)
