ehh, no. This was on linux with 6271. I am not sure how Diogo's
response or this test is related to this. But what I tested was what
happened when one clicked the footprint editor icon on the kicad app.
I stated at the time that it opened a blank pcbnew windows, I was
wrong. It opens the footprint editor as expected.

> Status in KiCad:
> New

> Bug description:
> Resizing kicad windows (eeschema, pcbnew, library editor and footprint
> editor) won't resize correctly. The windows stay with the same aspect.
> Meaning when enlarging the window gray spaces appear (screenshot
> attached), and decreasing the window size will hide the right bar and
> the bottom information bar and also hide the screen area depending on
> the resize made.

> Reproduce:
> Open kicad;
> Open on of the following applications: eeschema, pcbnew, library editor and footprint editor (gerbview, pcb calculator, etc are working correctly);
> Resize the window.
>
> Software information:
> MAC OS X 10.10.5
> BZR 6132 (also present in other recent builds)
