Identical behavior in Compiz. When the dialog moves itself, it always centers itself on the screen, taking into account its new size. This must be in the NM code, because I've never heard of any window manager doing that. -- When selecting an option that changes dialog size, auth dialog moves https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/436140 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 436140] Re: When selecting an option that changes dialog size, auth dialog moves
Thanks for the clarification, I understand now. We need to determine if this is a bug in the network manager GUI code, or a window manager bug. I don't have any wireless networks to test this on at the moment, so can you confirm this using a different window manager (e.g. Compiz)? -- When selecting an option that changes dialog size, auth dialog moves https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/436140 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 436140] Re: When selecting an option that changes dialog size, auth dialog moves
The resizing is not an issue. To clarify, different authentication options have different numbers and kinds of fields to fill in. For example, WEP only has a text field and a check box, whereas WPA enterprise has many sub-options of various types. Furthermore, some of those sub-options also have their own varying number of sub-options. In general, some options, when changed, affect the number and type of other options available, and when these options are changed, the dialog is resized to fit the new set of options, even if the new set of options is exactly the same size. The problem is, however, that in addition to resizing itself, the dialog also centers itself on the screen, rather than holding its position. This is inappropriate, at least after the user has moved the dialog. A possible compromise might be this: if the user has never moved the dialog box, keep the current behavior. Once the user moves the dialog box, it never moves itself again. Also, the "Create a new wireless network" dialog shows the same behavior. This is easier to test because you don't have to go find someone else's encrypted network to try it. -- When selecting an option that changes dialog size, auth dialog moves https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/436140 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
