I'm afraid that didn't change the fact the window is huge compared

explained, while I can live with, the newcomers I'm converting to
GNU/Linux using Lubuntu will not be happy at all.
Thank you!
P.S.
There should be nothing to be pressed by default. Logically, the
window should be auto adjusted to the size of the display. I have no
idea why Lubuntu can't do that?!

Hello Aere and everyone :)
Be aware that the application has control over the preferred,
maximum, and minimum dimensions of the application window. In
resizing a window, it will not allow you to re-size it smaller than
the minimum screen dimensions.
I'm not 100% sure yet that you and others understand what I'm talking
about - maybe a screenshot? or that is not needed? :D
Thanks a lot, I'm aware of this but the problem is, I just can't see
the bottom of any big window because I can't resize it to the point I
can actually see the whole window.
Often, developers (having fast machines, and large-screen monitors),
forget to think of users with less-capable machines, and small monitors.
If that is true and if you want my honest opinion, this would be
seriously bad :D
I mean, if they expect to present the best software, they 'should'
think of each and every possible case. To me, it seems they have
totally forgotten about the notebook with 11" inch screen :/
If the application (perhaps from lack of thinking by the developer)
sets a minimum size which won't fit on a netbook screen, the
application just can't be used on such a netbook unless they have
another monitor they can connect it to, that meets the window
dimension requirements.
If this is true, this is really really bad and if Julien does not
share a word in this regards, a side from reporting a bug, I should
stop using Lubuntu when I convert people ... I guess I will use
Xubuntu even though that would be a slower machine (a bit) - I don't
think Xubuntu is so slow anyway, I love it.
I am not aware of an operating system being able to scale an
application window to fit a screen (though my not being aware of it
doesn't mean it doesn't exist).
My dear friend, this should be a 'basic' and 'default' feature in each
and every system. I'm still stunned that Lubuntu fail to do it :(
An example of this I am familiar with, it that my main application
window will not fit on the netbook's screen. The minimum system
requirements I have, clearly state the screen dimensions required,
and the netbook's screen doesn't quite conform in the vertical
dimension.
Yet, I can use that application on the netbook, by using the Alt-drag
trick, positioning the window so that all of the important controls
are visible. On Windows (on that same machine), I can't use my
application at all, because I can only reposition the window by
clicking and dragging on the title-bar.
With MS Windows, IIRC, each time you change the resolution of the
screen, the applications/windows will be smaller as well. With
Lubuntu, it seems different case.
I haven't tested Xubuntu for example on that machine. Not sure if I
have time to do that but I guess I can always run it from the LiveUSB
and test it.
@Everyone
Any idea against what package should I report this? because it seems
emails are useless and the best way after all is to report a bug ;)
Thank you!
Hi again,
This is what I'm trying to explain:
