Torrent Details Popup is always fixed height, causing issues with browser with small height. #110

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
The details popup when you click on a Torrent is a fixed height. When trying to 
use rtgui on a browser where the page viewable height is smaller than the 
popup's height, the user can't access critical controls such as the Close 
button at the top, or the Save button at the bottom. Because the popup shifts 
to always be positioned within the view (not the page), you can't scroll to get 
at all the details/controls.

While on most "normal" browsers, you can get around this by making your browser 
taller, this is not always possible. For example, on Netbooks, on mobile 
phones, etc...

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Fire up rtgui in your browser
2. Resize the browser to be not particularly high
3. Click a torrent to open details, and try getting at all the details/controls

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Either have the details popup scale to fit the screen size, if the viewpane is 
smaller than the window, or allow scrolling to access the top/bottom.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

rtGui 0.2.7 under Debian.

Have you tried opening the 'view' link (the magnifying glass icon) in a new 
window?  On my Nokia N900, I can hold on the icon for a second, then select 
'open link in new window'.

Aha, that does work! The problem is my smart phone is too smart, and does the 
normal browser modal window, instead of just opening it in a new window. I 
hadn't tried the manual 'open in new window' option.

Perhaps an easy fix for mobile devices would be to have a setting which changes 
whether the view link opens in a new window or not. (Although I'd love a fully 
mobile-device optimised rtGui ;-)

Closing as this is not a bug.  I'm working on rtGui v0.3 which will include a 
'mobile' template...
