Hi John, This bug is marked as affecting two projects: Ubuntu and the gnome-control-center project (upstream) in GNOME: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=675503
The one that was changed to Invalid is the GNOME bug. That bug report was marked as a duplicate of another, deeper bug. Unfortunately, this remains unfixed in Ubuntu 12.10. Quantal is sticking with gnome-control- center 3.4, anyway, so there will be pretty well no changes on our end until Ubuntu 13.04. By the way, I think my earlier confusion is because I was looking at settings panels and kind of ignoring the main page — and I thought you were specifically talking about how the main window is not resizable. I agree, the way it is right now pretty broken. With a text scaling factor of 1.5 or above, the settings panel becomes very difficult to understand, and unnavigable for someone who doesn't look at it all the time :( -- 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 GTK+ GUI Toolkit: Unknown 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???

All utility windows should be both resizable and sensitive to the font in use.
