By new feature, I mean that when I compiled it on may 30th, Rox was working like it did for the past 5 years, and, this changed when i rebuild on june 29th (i recompile only monthly). Just rebuild now, no difference. First problem, easy to explain: start an Eterm, use medium font, resize it to make it bigger than the biggest monitor, press ^> to switch to larger font: the window is resized by E to fit the monitor. What means, E "decided" on it's own to reduce the number of columns and lines. This is a problem for me, because I resize my Eterm to fit very specific colxline numbers, to view logs that need very particular space; I change the font to see the log better; but when E changes the number or cols and lines, the logs or curses applications to not work properly any more. Second problem: when the first issue happens on Rox-Memo, when E resizes Memo, the Window get lost (and is sent in the Lost Windows list). To repro this one, you need to install Memo (available in all good distros, or using zero-conf/0install), and add enough memos in the past so that the Memo window will get bugger than your monitor. Note: I now use a 6 monitor layout. 2 rows of 3 monitors. Third problem i just found: Memo is always shown vertically on two monitors; last week, when i had only two monitors working (two in hoizontal line), I thought that memo was resized to the desktop height. Now, I see I was wrong; Memo is resized to the maximum heigh of the screen it is shown. In short, if I open ... Even an Eterm with medium font, and spread it to fit two monitors, and ^> to increase the font size, the window is resized to fit only one monitor. Again, I understand many people may want and enjoy this size limitation feature; but for me, it's VERY ennoing; i just need/want an option to disable it. The intuitive place I would search for such an option is Window geometry, Window Maximise policy, or Window Display. But, a per window policy would be nice, so, you could also add a tick box in the Remember and/or Locks lists ... >> NB: i did not subscribe to the ML; please CC me.
