[arch-general] GNU Privacy Assistant window sizing problem?
Hello. Running Arch x86-64, Gnome 3, Linux 4.7.4-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Sep 15 15:24:29 CEST 2016 x86_64 GNU/Linux. Screeen is 15" 1366 x 768, 60 Hz. In GNU Privacy Assistant, when I open the "backend preferences" window, it opens with the "basic" options selected, correctly sized. But when I then select either the "advanced" or "options", the window expands well below the lower screen edge. Some of the options are then hidden, and I can not seem to find a way to resize the "backend preferences" window. Since the bottom row of buttons is completely hidden, I can not even change the setting that are visible, except the "basic" options. I have searched the forum, wiki, and online, without success. Has anyone else seen this problem, and if so, found a solution?
This seems to be a bug in GPA. Nevertheless, you should be able to
move/resize the window to see the hidden options and buttons. I don't
use gnome, but I believe the default shortcuts are holding down the
Meta/Super/Windows/Apple key, then click and drag with
left/right/middle? mouse button to resize/move the window.

Thanks Christoph.
Holding down the Meta/Super/Windows/Apple key does allow the "unmovable"
window to move. Until Gnome "fixes" that capability, by removing it.
Using this workaround, I can now use the backend preferences window.
I am surprised that I didn't find a bug report on this already. I guess I
can make one, as soon as I learn how to do that.
