Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: packagekit-gnome
The main window cannot be resized below a size of, by my understanding,
1000x500 pixels. I noticed this because I use a tablet computer which,
in portrait mode, has a resolution of 768x1280.
When a window flows outside the screen boundary, and cannot be resized
to fit, odd things happen when you try to “maximize” the window. In my
experience, Metacity will be confused, changing the “maximize” icon and
removing the window’s borders without actually maximizing the window.
Compiz will clumsily resize the window to fit the screen, with the right
edge flowing off into the next workspace, while arbitrarily (and
ineffectively) attempting to show you both ends of the window depending
on how you hover your mouse. (The right side is still inaccessible to
activity, unless you switch to the workspace that it’s overflowing
into.)
I really want to encourage the removal of arbitrary limits on window
size. It’s important, for instance, that the EeePC 700/701 has a
resolution of only 800x480 (a minimum size of 1000x500 misses in both
dimensions!). Also, we never know what devices a new program will be
used on, so it’s always good to avoid handicaps that aren’t absolutely
necessary.
Thanks for your work on this software! I’m trying it out after the
Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter call for testing.
