"'cannot resize' is a design decision and not a bug."
This sounds like Microsoft's famed "undocumented features".
Locking the window size adds no value to an application: it detracts a
common feature. Larger displays have lots of space, and your present
window would be hard to see at all. The smaller displays of netbooks
don't have the screen resolution for anything quite as large as your
present interface. The interface must scale.
I also note that you responded to my suggestion immediately, in a manner
similar to trolls in online forums.
There are a number of valid bugs in Ubuntu that are being declared
"invalid" by people working at Canonical. Many of these bug reports were
submitted by people who have been using Ubuntu for a long time,
including some of the people who helped design Warty, the first version
of Ubuntu.
At this point in time I would like to remind you of the basic philosophy
of Ubuntu. This was taken directly from the Ubuntu 9.04, Jaunty
Jackalope, example content.
Ubuntu is an ancient African word, meaning "humanity to others". Ubuntu also
means "I am what I am because of who we all are". The Ubuntu Linux distribution
brings the spirit of Ubuntu to the software world.
Desmond Tutu described ubuntu in the following way:
"A person with ubuntu is open and available to others, affirming of others,
does not feel threatened that others are able and good, for he or she has a
proper self-assurance that comes from knowing that he or she belongs in a
greater whole."
We chose the name Ubuntu for this distribution because we think it captures
perfectly the spirit of sharing and cooperation that is at the heart of the
open source movement. In the Free Software world, we collaborate freely on a
volunteer basis to build software for everyone's benefit. We improve on the
work of others, which we have been given freely, and then share our
improvements on the same basis.
