One tends to wonder if "invalid" is simply a way of getting rid of this problem without a statement that it has been addressed. I am currently running the 12.10 Beta2 in test mode, and will have to examine this to see if it is fixed or ameliorated in any way. It most certainly wasn't in 12.04 LTS.
The windows do NOT resise if you change the font size. Either put the controls back to default (all on) or fix the programs. Something I've also noticed, is that some programs get overhauled on the basis of a new release when it probably is not necessary. If it is not broken, don't fix it. More care needs to be taken with the desktops to maintain compatibility with apps, especially apps written by the client base. Do you have any idea how difficult it is to get management to agree to migrate to a new version when all the in-house apps not only have to be tested, but in all likelihood entered into a repair cycle for which there is no allowance in a very busy development shop? Lack of resources on your part must not cause a problem on my part. A little more care and QA is needed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/936257 Title: the system settings grid shouldn't use a fixed geometry Status in GNOME Control Center: Invalid Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Because i have visual acuity problems it is necessary for me to use a larger font on my desktop. This program and several others have fixed windows boundaries and cannot be resized. Another example is the Menu Editor (alacarte) which is insensitive of the font size along with this rather inconvenient new item. As a programmer of long experience, I find this sort of thing to be careless and sloppy. Who is doing QA on this stuff before you send it out???
