[Bug 23810] Re: Evolution is unusable in 800x600
On y eeepc 900 with 1024x600 evolution is my favourite and only email reader. It is certainly not unusable. The problem with dialog boxes on small screens is not unique to evolution. Fortunately Ubuntu allows you to solve this by click and dragging while holding the Alt key pressed anywhere in the dialog window. This will allow you move the dialog beyond the screen borders and completing the dialog. I propose to close this issue as fixed.

Alt and drag does not allways work, especially if you have any of the desktop effectes active (ie you are using compiz instead of metacity) you can drag the window off the screen, with alt, but as soon as you mouseup it snaps back to the screen border -- Evolution is unusable in 800x600 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/23810 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

This bug is about 800x600, though I also find it pretty unusable in bigger screens. -- Evolution is unusable in 800x600 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/23810 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 23810] Re: Evolution is unusable in 800x600
Still here. See bug #596012. A workaround is: move the window half out of the top of the screen, using key-triggered move, so that the bottom edge is half-screen. Then resize the window using the keyboard again, drawing the bottom edge to the bottom of the screen. Adjust the options to your taste and then resize the windows back to its original size (otherwise you cannot close it) with the same trick. ...a scrollbar would be very welcome, though. -- Evolution is unusable in 800x600 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/23810 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

If your screen is 1024x600, considering this bug is known upstream for 6 yeas, I would say the best workaround is to use thunderbird on this computer. -- Evolution is unusable in 800x600 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/23810 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
