If there was something I could do to compensate for this deficiency in Window's, it would be nice. In Linux, when the size of (sf_interface->table) is larger that the screen size and I set the dialog to that size, GTK keeps the dialog above/below panels/taskbars and displays scrollbars. In windows, the size of the taskbar is ignored and the full screensize is used, so the dialog falls behind the taskbar. The workarounds I've seen to compensate for this are pretty messy hacks. Perhaps this is an issue with Window's implementation of GTK and should be corrected there. Even with this deficiency, Windows users are happy with this modification. In the event this does occur, they can easily resize the dialog to get to the input fields that were previously off screen and inaccessible. > > Secondly, with the patch applied, resizing of the Script-fu dialog results > in the widgets within the scrollable window to be scaled.

With the old behavior, vertically increasing the size of dialog would just add a bunch of white space between the input fields and the progress bar, which is not at all useful. While neither of these options are that useful, at least with scaling, you can make some of the items a little larger and easier to see. For that reason, I actually find the current behavior slightly preferable. > _______________________________________________ > gimp-developer-list mailing list > List address: gimp-developer-list@xxxxxxxxx > List membership: > https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list > List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-developer-list > _______________________________________________ gimp-developer-list mailing list List address: gimp-developer-list@xxxxxxxxx List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-developer-list
