dconf-editor styling all messed up

[Derek White]

Description takes up 75% of screen real-estate (see screen-shot). Had to go full-screen for it to semi-correct itself and be use-able.

Drop-down boxes use 100% of screen width (org.gnome.nautilus.window-state side-pane-view) and the mouse button must be held down until a selection is made (e.g. mousedown activates the drop-down, mouseup selects entry and closes drop-down - very annoying to not be able to go click, click).

No application menu? Weird.

All-in-all, just seems a lot sloppier than gconf-editor - first time in it and I already found 2 usability issues with it. Bad underlying dev tools for the app?

Here are some more shots, this time of apps > indicators > sound.

'sound1.png' is with "interested-media-players" selected and 'sound2.png' is with "show-notify-osd-on-scroll" selected.

You can clearly see that the latter completely screws up the layout. In fact, each time I click on a different key name, the description area resizes (apparently) to a random size.

Regarding poor usability made some videos there bug #812485 which was marked as dupe of bug #715002

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
