Description Tomas Jamrisko 2013-09-09 12:29:10 UTC
Description of problem:

If you have a window with a minimal defined size that is higher than vertical resolution of your screen, then some parts of it cannot be accessed (typically ok/cancel buttons).

Not sure against whether to report this against gnome-shell, gtk3 or wireshark, but I can at least move the window out of screen the way I want to in gnome 2.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-shell-3.8.4-2
wireshark-gnome-1.10.0-2

Steps to Reproduce:
1. make sure you have a window that has a certain minimal size (such as Wireshark's Capture Options [Ctrl+K]) that is larger than your vertical resolution (e.g 768 pixels on a x230) 
2. Try to somehow get the lower part of the window (usually contains all the buttons)

Actual results:
The window can't be resized to fit, it can't be moved as gnome-shell stops it on the upper edge. 

Expected results:
allowing windows to be moved partially out of bounds of gnome-shell if they can't fit anyway. Or a more awesome solution would be to force a scroll area on windows that have none and don't fit.

As far as I remember, the only difference from GNOME 2 is that the "mouse button modifier" (e.g. the key you need to press to move/resize the window instead of letting the application process the click event) has been changed from <alt> to <super>. Alternatively, <alt>F7 works here as well (as it did in GNOME 2).

You're right. Super does the trick. Should have spent more time using GNOME 3...
