Description of problem: When using the File->SaveAs "Select File Type by extension" option, the window resize logic is broken such that the "Save" and "Cancel" buttons are off the bottom of the screen. This is a particularly a problem when using on small laptop screens. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): GIMP 2.6.9 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Open GIMP File->New->OK File->SaveAs, click "Select File Type (by extension)" Observe that the bottom of the dialog never returns when the "Select File Type" option is deselected Actual results: dialog buttons off the bottom of the screen requiring close of the file-save dialog Expected results: Selecting/Deselecting the "Select File Type" list should return the dialog to its original dimensions Additional info:

I can confirm the observed behavior. I've looked into this together with upstream and found out that the issue has to be fixed in gtk, as the GtkFileChooser methods used for adding the "Select File Type" expander to the chooser hide all details of how this widget is added to the file chooser, i.e. we can't tweak it to shrink the dialog when being collapsed. Changing component to gtk2.
Michael Natterer (of GIMP upstream) submitted a patch to gtk which, if incorporated, would allow specifying the desired behavior for the "Select File Type" expander: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=643805
