eog should consider menubar size when creating windows to avoid scaling

[Dan Orzechowski]

When opening an image, eog creates a window which allows for the image to be displayed at normal size (i.e., no scaling). But after the image is drawn, a GtkMenuBar is added to the window. Since the window does not resize itself after adding the menu bar, the image gets scaled down to a percentage of its true size.

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

Thank you for your bug report, what desktop environment do you use? Under unity there should be no local menu for the eog dialog

[Dmitry Shachnev (mitya57)]

This happens in any DE with no global menu, for example in Gnome Shell or Fallback mode.

[Daniel Clem (clem11388)]

Yup I'll second that, it seems to do "ok" under Unity with the global menu. but not under Gnome shell or Gnome2.3 with out a global menu.

I hope things can be re-done to have the window automatically resize as the status bar and toolbar are enabled or disabled, and when switching between images using arrow keys. Possible? I think so :-)

Hi all,

This bug is still there. Any image smaller than the desktop should open with 1:1 scaling (no scaling), but all images are just scaled by a little when opened, even if no scroll bar is displayed...
It is no very serious, but just a pity.

Eactly 3 years after this bug was opened, could we have a little update, or a little fixing? Thanks!
