kicad: some dialogs change the yourself size

[Eldar Khayrullin]

After some actions some dialogs change the yourself size every time.
Examples:
-Pcbnew - DRC: open DRC -> Start DRC -> OK -> open DRC => dialog window size increased.
-Eeschema - Component Properties: open dialog -> OK -> open dialog => dialog window size increased.

Probably Linux specific..does not happen in Win7

[jean-pierre charras (jp-charras)]

This kind of issue is specific to a very few Window Managers.
A similar case was reported, but cannot be really fixed by Kicad code change.

[Eldar Khayrullin (eldar)]

@jp-charras, Maybe need save height and width of dialog window at close event. In next openning of dialog manual set him his previously saved height and width.
P.s. It's annoying. Maybe it is issue of the window manager but Kicad users will see incorrect behaviour in Kicad and Kicad karma will be increasing :).

[jean-pierre charras (jp-charras)]

This is currently the case, and this is *exactly* why this issue exists.

[Novak Tamas (novak-7)]

JP, then this should be set to "confirmed low importance bug"?

I think I would only save the topleft coordinate, but not the size of the window.

If you move the DRC window to a pleasant space, this setting should "survive" to next DRC window.
Window size should be set automatically when DRC Pane object is created: size shouldn't be remembered if it was altered at last display.

Still happening.
