Description Oliver Ilian 2016-04-11 08:02:26 UTC
Description of problem:
when selecting the keys "org.gnome.metacity new-windows-always-on-top" and "org.gnome.metacity no-focus-windows" the dconf-editor resizes vertically and you can not make it smaller again. Selecting any other key than the 2 allows you to resize the window again.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
dconf-editor-0.22.0-2.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
every time you click on 1 of the 2 keys

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open dconf-editor and navigate to org.gnome.metacity 
2. click on new-windows-always-on-top or no-focus-windows

Actual results:
Window maximizes vertically without possibility to resize the window again

Expected results:
nothing should happen with the size of the window

Wrap description_label on scrolled window

This bug was found not to be a priority, therefore it is been postponed to the next release.

The problem was that long descriptions for the schemas was causing the dconf-editor window to expand.

My patch (attached) solves this problem by wrapping the schema description on a scrolled window, showing a scrollbar only when necessary (long text), not introducing any visual change for regular text lengths.

dconf-editor was split off dconf recently.

Comment 4 Marek Kašík 2017-03-07 10:05:39 UTC
The new dconf-editor has been redesigned in the way that it doesn't have this bug now.

Comment 6 Jiri Prajzner 2017-04-26 09:09:04 UTC
