The same thing happens when a notification is displayed in the upper part of the Gedit window, for instance when the file has chaned on disk. The message makes the window wider, something which is unacceptable since the user should have control over the window size.

I use Lubuntu 13.10 with the default GTK theme and the Blackbox window manager. Steps to reproduce: 1. Open Gedit 2. Resize the window so that its width is less than 529 (in my case I cannot make it narrower than 488 pixels) 3. Save the document ("Untitled Document 1"). What happens: The width of the Gedit window is enlarged to 529 pixels. What I expect: Unchanged window geometry. $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 13.10 Release: 13.10 $ apt-cache policy gedit gedit: Installed: 3.8.3-0ubuntu3 Candidate: 3.8.3-0ubuntu3 Version table: *** 3.8.3-0ubuntu3 0 500 http://se.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ saucy/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gedit/+bug/1301312/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
