Unable to set sandbox window size and text too small
Last modified: 2014-10-14 00:56:16 EDT
Created attachment 914473 [details] sandbox screenshot Description of problem: No matter what window size is specified when running sandbox (-w resolution), the sandbox window always opens too small. When the window is manually resized, the text is so small it's impossible to read (see attached screenshot Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.15.0-15.el6.x86_64 policycoreutils-2.0.83-19.41.el6.x86_64 policycoreutils-python-2.0.83-19.41.el6.x86_64 policycoreutils-sandbox-2.0.83-19.41.el6.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. make sure you have policycoreutils-sandbox and policycoreutils-python installed 2. run sandbox -X -w 800x600 firefox Actual results: A small sandbox window opens (not the size specified as parameter) and all the text inside the window is too small to read. Expected results: A sandbox window of specified dimensions is opened and text size is normal and readable. Additional info:
This problem is also easily reproducible with Xephyr alone (assuming it's used by sandbox anyway) - specifying the -screen parameter is ignored. This works fine with Xorg 1.13 shipped in RHEL-6.5.
Pretty sure this is fixed by commit 7b2a517ba99f6756e98c4aef47d9b9399b997157 Author: Julien Cristau <jcristau@debian.org> Date: Wed Mar 26 23:24:20 2014 +0100 Xephyr: restore initial window resize lost in xcb conversion
