To reproduce, just run Maps, right-click somewhere, and select 'Route from here'. The routing panel to the right of the map opens, but half of it is not visible, seemingly covered in some sort of odd white...layer. If you then resize the window, the whole routing panel disappears behind the white layer, and the window stops being square (the right hand side of the window sort of bleeds past the X button, is the best way I can describe it). Will attach a video. Proposing as a 29 Final blocker, per criterion "All applications that can be launched using the standard graphical mechanism of a release-blocking desktop after a default installation of that desktop must start successfully and withstand a basic functionality test."

Additionally, if you right click and select "What's Here?" *after* triggering this bug, gnome-maps crashes. If you do "What's Here?" *before* triggering this bug, it works. I'll attach a traceback from that crash.

I was able to reproduce this bug.
We sadly don't have anyone working on gnome-maps anymore in Fedora, and I am (as the ticket is assigned to me) right now occupied with fixing various gnome-software regressions in F29 that are all much higher priority. I wouldn't recommend blocking the release on this.
Remember that one way to address a release blocker is to remove the app...
@adamw: gnome-maps version? I can't reproduce this with gnome-maps-3.30.0-1.fc29.x86_64.
3.30.1-1.fc29. Dunno why you're on 3.30.0.
I can't reproduce with gnome-maps-3.30.1-1.fc29.x86_64 either. Actually those two recent versions of gnome-maps work great here — display is snappy and the routing seems quite good.
I can't reproduce the bug in the description and video. I can reproduce the crash in comment 2.
Discussed during the 2018-10-15 blocker review meeting: [1] The decision to classify this bug as an "AcceptedBlocker" was made as it violates the following criteria: "All applications that can be launched using the standard graphical mechanism of a release-blocking desktop after a default installation of that desktop must start successfully and withstand a basic functionality test". We note that dropping the app from Workstation is acceptable if a fix is not available. [1] https://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-blocker-review/2018-10-15/f29-blocker-review.2018-10-15-16.00.txt
I can't reproduce it here either. Can one of the people who is able to reproduce it report it upstream at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-maps please? Thanks!
Ahh sorry never mind, I see it's already reported at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-maps/issues/131
I also cannot reproduce this bug. Will send this out to the list to request more testing.
The Workstation WG discussed this bug and was against holding the release up for this bug. However, upstream are looking at it so we can winnow down the cases where it does reproduce. Some users report this working fine under intel + Wayland, so it doesn't seem to be universal. It should be possible to fix in an update. This link may be useful: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-maps/issues/131#note_348400
Discussed during today's blocker review [1]: #agreed 1637751 – RejectedBlocker AcceptedFreezeException – After much deliberation and hearing from stickster as representative from the Workstation WG, we have unanimously decided to not block the release on this bug, based on the fact that 1) the bug is not universal, 2) the fix may destabilize other things, and 3) it seems overly-zealous to block the release on this bug. We accept it as a Freeze Exception in case a fix comes about soon. https://meetbot-raw.fedoraproject.org/fedora-blocker-review/2018-10-22/
Does this issue remain in version 3.30.2.1 that is the current in f29?
Yes, gnome-maps-3.30.2.1-1.fc29.x86_64 has this problem. Right click on map, choose "route from here" as described, and I get a white box on the right with no user interface elements at all. Just a white box. I can't resize the window on the right side but if I resize from top,bottom, or left sides, the routing UI appears.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 29 is nearing its end of life. Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 29 on 2019-11-26. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '29'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 29 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
I can't reproduce any more on current Rawhide at least.
Fedora 29 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2019-11-26. Fedora 29 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug.
