Another real life issue caused by fixed size: I wanted to redirect audio to another pc using pulseaudio. Right-click on volume applet, select sound settings. Sound settings has a list of audio outputs, but they do not fit into the list horizontally so i can't tell which one is the one i want to choose. Naturally i tried to resize the window but it's not possible.
I did the same again, but now for some reason the layout is different - the list is stretched so that the output names are fully visible BUT right side of the window (balance slider, test button etc) do not fit in the layout and are cropped. I could file another bug about the sound settings page but the root cause is window geometry being fixed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/936257 Title: the system settings grid shouldn't use a fixed geometry Status in GNOME Control Center: Invalid Status in GTK+ GUI Toolkit: New Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Because i have visual acuity problems it is necessary for me to use a larger font on my desktop. This program and several others have fixed windows boundaries and cannot be resized. Another example is the Menu Editor (alacarte) which is insensitive of the font size along with this rather inconvenient new item. As a programmer of long experience, I find this sort of thing to be careless and sloppy. Who is doing QA on this stuff before you send it out???

All utility windows should be both resizable and sensitive to the font in use.
