#3273 closed bug (fixed)

Minimum Dialog Size Standard

Reported by: wildintellect Owned by: nobody
Priority: major: does not work as expected Milestone: Version 1.7.0
Component: GUI Version: 1.6.0
Keywords: Labeling Cc:
Must Fix for Release: No Platform: Linux
Platform Version: 10.04 Awaiting user input: no

Description

The newer Labeling engine dialog is too big to be usable on smaller screens. Specifically it can't be shrunk anymore than it's default size of 800 so the Ok/Cancel buttons are off screen if you have a vertical resolution limit of 800 or less. This is a big problem for ultra portable laptops, netbooks and anyone who uses 1024x768 resolution (20% or more of the world).

I think there needs to be a standard that all GUI components must be able to shrink down to at least 600 pixels in height.

Is this ticket still valid? What desktop environment and style? At Oxygen@KDE4 I can shrink it to about 440 x 640 pix.

Resolution: fixed

It appears to be fixed after 1.6 either on purpose or by accident as the Labeling menu is now tabbed. I checked on a trunk build from last week.

I still recommend that all ui dialogs be checked to ensure that their minimum heights allow for being shrunk down to 600px or less.
