[Bug 589204] Re: Evolution Setup Assistant dialog too large for netbook screens
I believe this is fixed at least for Evolution 3.8.4 on Ubuntu 13.10 Alpha. I set my screen resolution to 800x600, ran Evolution, clicked EditPreferences and took the attached screenshot. ** Attachment added: evolution-netbook-saucy.png https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+bug/589204/+attachment/3750575/+files/evolution-netbook-saucy.png ** Changed in: evolution (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to evolution in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/589204 Title: Evolution Setup Assistant dialog too large for netbook screens To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution/+bug/589204/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 589204] Re: Evolution Setup Assistant dialog too large for netbook screens
Rather than try to fix individual applications I've found the easiest way is to create a pan'able virtual desktop and bind the command to a couple of key combinations. xrandr --output LVDS1 --panning 1024x786 xrandr --output LVDS1 --panning 1024x600 will flip in and out of a scrollable 'tall' desktop. I actually have them bound to Alt-T and Alt-S for tall and short as my memory sucks these days :) Combine this with a utility to rotate the screen/trackpad for landscape/portrait use and a netbook becomes quite manageable. --sean -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to evolution in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/589204 Title: Evolution Setup Assistant dialog too large for netbook screens -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 589204] Re: Evolution Setup Assistant dialog too large for netbook screens
Can get evolution assistant to work by making it fullscreen, but then clicking on the checkboxes causes random response by the window. By alternating between fullscreen and partial, I can eventually get the checkboxes to work. All of that work is moot, however, because the calendar sizes larger than the screen size. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to evolution in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/589204 Title: Evolution Setup Assistant dialog too large for netbook screens -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 589204] Re: Evolution Setup Assistant dialog too large for netbook screens
This bug is extremely annoying to me. It should be an easy change as the panels already have scroll bars. The panels just need to have a much smaller minimal height. A workaround for this bug is to ensure that the window is not maximized (Alt+F10) and then hold in Alt, click and drag the window up to see the content at the bottom. The Calendar section of Evolution also explodes larger than my monitor. For those of you have not experienced this, I'm going to try to explain how annoying it is. My evolution window is sitting on Workspace 5 and it is maximized. If I happen to click on the Calendar, the window grows by about 80 pixels. Now if I happen to try and click on something the whole window jumps higher about 80 pixels making me miss what I tried to click on. I try to click again and the window will jump down the 80 pixels to where it started. It is impossible to even click on the Minimize, Restore and Maximize buttons. I have been in this scenario so often that I know to hit Alt+F10 and drag the window around before attempting to click on any items. When the window is not maximized, then this jumping around behaviour doesn't happen. I would like to add that after click on the Calendar button, the entire program stays too large for my screen even after clicking back to Mail and the program needs to be shut down and restarted before it can be used properly. Again, this should be an easy fix and Evolution should not ship with Ubuntu Netbook Remix if it does not fit on a netbook screen. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to evolution in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/589204 Title: Evolution Setup Assistant dialog too large for netbook screens -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
