Window not resizing to the picture correctly

[Daniel Clem]

No matter what when opening an image, there are always the ugly black bars on both sides of any image. Disabling both the status bar and toolbar helps a little, and using a "global menu" makes it ALOT better. But alot of times there still a clear black line on one side or the other, even though "Best fit" is selected. I can manually resize the window and I am able to get the window to just the perfect size so there are no black bars any where.

I am a BIG stickler for this cause I love having a borderless window theme. and when opening a picture and seeing black on one side or another, it just looks plain ugly :/ I Love Eye of Gnome cause it does the best at auto resizing. and being able to totally take away everything in the window but the title bar, (any good ways of making that dissapper too? :-P ) makes an average pic look really great, and a High Res pic look Jaw Dropping!!

Thank you for your bug report.
Do you experience the same issue as is described in bug 880626?

[Daniel Clem (clem11388)]

I think its possibly the same bug, the other one is more technical bout the reason it happens.

But even when the tool bar and the status bar are turned off and the a Global menu is used making nothing but the title bar show, there will still be a one or 2 pixel wide bar on either left or right side.

Not a huge deal, but a thing that add more to a list of appearance distractions .

P.S. this 1 to 2 pixel black bar goes away by very carefully resizing the window. I have never owned a Apple Mac, and don't ever plan to. But certain details of their design a very much admire and think look very gorgeous.

OK. For now I mark it as a duplicate, if after fixing that bug you'll be still experiencing this issue, you will be able to open a new bug.
