Description Dick Gevers 2013-12-13 08:04:41 CET

Description of problem:

* Diskdrake and all gui's beyond are detached from the right hand and aligned to the left off centre for me (not for others as per parinux Etherpad notes: http://bn.parinux.org/p/mageia4beta2

* It does not happen when upgrading M31 -> M4, because diskdrake is skipped.

Steps to Reproduce: On real hardware (***)
1. Choose install
2. Choose: custom disk partitioning (cannot try others for obvious reasons)
2. Choose: Expert mode
3. At this point the diskdrake gui detaches from the Installer screen and floats off centre to the hard left hand side of the screen. Screenshots to be attached.

At this point tty1 shows:

(runinstall2:390) Gtk-Critical **: gtk_widget_set_size_request: assertion 'width >= -1' failed




***) Hardware described as entry #3 at: https://wiki.mageia.org/en/QA_iso_hardware_list#Notebooks


Reproducible:

Comment 2 Thierry Vignaud 2013-12-13 16:25:14 CET

Similar issue as of bug #11790: when toggled, the window size must change slightly and matchbox wrongly moves the window

Comment 3 Thierry Vignaud 2013-12-13 17:01:02 CET

Indeed it has been resized.

The Gtk+ warning has nothing to do with this, it's displayed before.

The problem seems locale dependant (eg it doesn't happens with French but it does with English)

Comment 4 Martin Whitaker 2013-12-14 20:01:34 CET

For me this happens the first time the diskdrake partition window is displayed (i.e. before choosing custom partitioning). I suspect this is because I have a lot of partitions, so the window is too large to fit in the normal space.

Comment 5 Glen Ogilvie 2013-12-28 09:31:20 CET

I think it's timing related, because when I am testing in an automated fashion, it will happen some of the time, even though the test tool is behaving 100% the same way every time.

I can reproduce this fairly consistently.   

I have an automated testing tool which is one way to generate it. See QA mailing list.

capture after diskdrake

I have this on all step after diskdrake even without clicking advanced :/

I'm not sure we can release with this.

commit e2119a1055fa656802191253c7526284c1016198
Author: Thierry Vignaud <thierry.vignaud@...>
Date:   Mon Jan 13 06:57:43 2014 +0100

    revert back to matchbox instead of mutter
    
    rationale: it doesn't fix diskdrake issues (mga#11977) whereas it
    doesn't draw window decorations w/o any window manager (mga#12218)
    
    basically reverting commit 19a11905a998a1e62fb8f32aeb749f1b5a9bafd6

Please, just truncate like they were before. No leading/trailing dots.
Just one letter is better than none.

Comment 10 Thierry Vignaud 2014-01-13 19:10:32 CET

Gtk3/Oxygen-gtk does not behave the same and prevent this.

Comment 11 Anne Nicolas 2014-01-19 21:17:52 CET

Reporter, can you please check the behaviour in new Mageia 4 RC isos?

Comment 12 Dick Gevers 2014-01-19 21:59:11 CET

It is still happening, although not in 100% identical manner as at the time of my report.

Question should rather be at this point: is it acceptable that it happens or not. I will not judge *that*.

All I do say that it is unlike behaviour we saw before the report, so it was not expected then. Maybe we should live with it now ??

Comment 13 Manuel Hiebel 2014-01-19 22:44:14 CET

Also when switching from 800x600 to 1024x768 with vga=791 but it is _much_ better.

(Anne, btw the f3 to switch this from gfxboot doesn't work)

    increase back minimum partition width for Oxygen (mga#11977)
    
    reverting commit 6861dc0526938a22da627308591d652b05b8fbf6
    this should results in better sizing if there's a lot a small partitions
    as oxygen's ToggleButtons minimum width is bigger
