gtk file save dialog resizes

[Matt Burgess]

When not running Gnome (fluxbox in my case), the file save dialog resizes itself over and over many times per second. I first saw this in Firefox (File -> Save Page As), but can reproduce it in other GTK apps like Gedit. I am running gtk 2.0-0 and fluxbox 1.0rc2 in Edgy.

Thanks for your bug, that's known upstream and has just been fixed to trunk, http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=420285

Do you have any ETA on when this fix is released? It's quite annoying when trying to save attachments from thunderbird.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

it has already been fixed in gutsy

This is bugging me as well (I use fluxbox). As expected, all GTK apps are affected, and it's _really_ annoying. Any plans on backporting the fix to Feisty? Gutsy is scheduled for October, and this bug is a serious usability PITA...

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Would be nice to fix in feisty. The patch is not trivial, we didn't get many user requests and the team has lot to do. It's low priority for the moment

[Andre Costa (blueser)]

Hi Sebastien, thks for the sincerity.

I understand what you say and the priorities assessment. It'll be a huge PITA experiencing this for 2-3 more months (until Gutsy comes out), I just hope it attracts more attention and gets backported before that. Of course, the closer we get to Gutsy deadline the higher the chances this won't be backported... =(
