Widget truncation in xfce4-display-settings

[Ben James]

Summary:

The widgets in the display configuration program (xfce4-display-settings : Menu | Settings | Display) are clipped on the right - see attached screenshot. Note that this isn't due to window scaling as increasing the horizontal window size does not cure the problem.

Note that I have a high (ish) DPI display (13.3" 1920x1080) and have tweaked both the DPI and font settings to make the GUI readable, however it "feels" like this is more of a problem with the widget containers - when scaling the window, the left portion of the window absorbs the extra space and the widgets on the right remain fixed with (and clipped as can be seen in the second attachment).

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug. This issue will be fixed in version 4.11.4 (most likely in Vivid Vervet).
