Hi, the initial reason for this patches is that here on my system qgit4 looks like this http://img77.imageshack.us/my.php?image=qgit4strangewindowgi0.png which is a bit suboptimal for viewing patches :-) this is on a standard qt 4.3 from gentoo While i was there i removed the same problem in the custom action editor and removed some unneed empty space Actually locally i removed even more empty space, like around the main tab view and inside the main tab view. If anyone wants me to remove that too, i would be happy to send more patches [QGIT4 PATCH 1/6] update patchview.ui with new qt designer When i edit the .ui files with the QT designer it updates some unrelated parts. Because of this i split the update into a separate patch so the real changes are obvious. Feel free to collapse them if you want [QGIT4 PATCH 2/6] change size policy of the patch viewer to expanding this fixes the problem from the screenshot above [QGIT4 PATCH 3/6] update patchview.ui with new qt designer same reason as patch 1 [QGIT4 PATCH 4/6] change size policy of splitter which contains the list and the textbox fix same problem in custom action editor [QGIT4 PATCH 5/6] remove empty space below "diff to" header in patch view [QGIT4 PATCH 6/6] remove empty space below button bar in file view these remove some more empty space which i personally find useless Apply if you like them If you want i can provide more screenshots of how patches change appearance.
