windows always open off-center

[alexmyczko]

Please include the following information. 1) Flowblade version (Help->About): 2.8.0.3 2) MLT version (Help->Runtime Environment): 7.12.0 3) Your distribution (Ubuntu, Debian, Mint etc.): Debian 12 4) If possible, try to provide step-by-step instructions on how to reproduce the issue. From developer point of view this is the easieast way to understand what is happening.:

Here's the details: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1037357

[jliljebl]

This is a height related issue on small screens that I believe has been fixed, but I can't test on the exact screen resolution that the user has. I'll close this some time after 2.10 release unless issue is reported to remain.

[jliljebl]

I'm actually convinced enough that this is fixed that I'm closing this. Open new Issue or comment in this closed issue if problem persists after 2.10.

[perkelix]

Nope. Not fixed as of 2.10.0.1

[jliljebl]

Okey, reopening.

Question, does hitting F11 key to fullscreen the app help?

This is still very likely height issue with 768px height screens with the app not fitting in the available space. The problem is that I can't test this with my current system (it does not have this resolution), and trying to fix this blind is practically impossible. I have one another screen I can try but not sure if that has the right resolution either.

[perkelix]

No, it doesn't help. I don't wanna run the app in full-screen mode. I want it maximized.

It does fit the available space. It simply doesn't restore it to a maximized status the next time it is run. It instead opens it partially off-screen as per the screenshot.

[jliljebl]

But you can maximize it, and it fits in the screen?

[jliljebl]

Also, one more question, the bottom right panel is gone now also, right?

[jliljebl]

Did some more testing.

Flowblade, Gimp and Rhythmbox all refuse to open maximixed even when closed in maximized state. I think Gnome Shell stopped respecting window.maximize() in some release recently because they think that in Wayland world applications can't maximize themselves, or something like that. I need to get more information on this, there might not be any solution before doing GTK 4 port.

The code doing the maximizing should be quite bullet proof.

  # Maximize if it seems that we exited maximized, else set size
  w, h = editorpersistance.prefs.exit_allocation
  if w != 0: # non-existing prefs file causes w and h to be 0
      if (float(w) / editorstate.SCREEN_WIDTH > 0.95) and (float(h) / editorstate.SCREEN_HEIGHT > 0.95):
          self.window.maximize()

[perkelix]

But you can maximize it, and it fits in the screen?

Yes, it initially fits the screen.

[perkelix]

Also, one more question, the bottom right panel is gone now also, right?

Yup. Gone.

          self.window.maximize()

That's incorrect. Gimp opens maximized just fine. Right now, Flowblade is the only app that systematically fails at opening maximized.

[jliljebl]

Flowblade, Gimp and Rhythmbox all refuse to open maximixed even when closed in maximized state.

In Ubuntu 23.10 + Gnome 45 + Flowblade current repo version this Issue is now gone, in both X11 and Wayland.

I had it before, now it's gone my system. I did port Flowblade to use Gtk.Application main loop since last time working on this, that may have fixed this. Once 2.12 comes out I'll ask for further testing.

Looking forward to testing 2.12 and seeing whether that fixed it.

[perkelix]

Not fixed as of 2.12. Additionally, since flowblade still doesn't have a maximize window widget, this cannot be fixed on the fly either.

@perkelix 2.14.0.1?

did you read https://github.com/jliljebl/flowblade/blob/master/flowblade-trunk/docs/RELEASE_NOTES.md ?

I just pointed the Debian maintainer towards that.

[alexmyczko]

@perkelix would not be that me?

[perkelix]

@perkelix would not be that me?

Are Alex and Gürkan the same person? In that case, yes. Your Debian package fails as reported.

[alexmyczko]

@perkelix same. i am on vac until sunday so cant test stuff but will do so next week…

[jliljebl]

On Debian installing python3-libusb1 manually should get things working, see https://github.com/jliljebl/flowblade/blob/master/flowblade-trunk/docs/DEPENDENCIES.md.

That indeed fixed the missing dependency.

I also tried from the desktop menu shortcut. It always opens maximized. Bonus: there's a maximize widget on the window frame.

Solved. Let's close this. Thanks!

Ok, great, closing.
