Screenshot of situation

Description of problem:
After clicking on an drive for information the size of the information window is too big for a monitor resolution 1024x768 (notebooks etc) and the size cannot be changed. Therefore some buttons and text are unreadable.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
palimpsest 2.32.0

How reproducible:
Clicking on an drive for further information

Actual results:
Too big for 1024x768

Expected results:
Fitting with 1024x768 and all buttons and text is readable.

It also affects Fedora 15 and the situation even goes worse since gnome-shell had a larger font layout. My resolution is 1366x768.

I have the same problem on my netbook with resolution 1024x600 on F15. See attached screenshots of Pidgin - Manage Accounts window and XChat - Network List window.

Comment 6 Vratislav Podzimek 2011-05-29 19:03:56 UTC
So the problem is in gnome-shell or gtk I think. These components should make windows fit in the display.
Move this bug to gnome maintainers?

Comment 7 Peque 2011-06-22 18:34:01 UTC
Same problem here in Fedora 15 (can't even reach some buttons). Many people may not know how to move a window with the ALT key and may not know either how to report a bug, so this app may be useless for them...

Perhaps separating "Drive" and "Volumes" in two tabs will fix the problem?

Comment 8 Fiable.biz 2011-10-08 02:03:57 UTC
The same problem appears for adding packages if dependencies are needed. Vratislav, if you think it's a Gnome bug, please fill it there.

Comment 11 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-16 12:56:55 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained.  At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this 
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen 
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached 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 to click on 
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that 
version of Fedora.

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.

The process we are following is described here:
