Update: I've been talking to upstream. They are willing to accept the first hunk of my patch (to make the tabs for mail-preferences dialog scrollable, avoiding allocation of horizontal space that exceeds the width of the widest dialog), the second one (moving New Mail Notification in a seperate tab) will be obsoleted, soon. They are planning to put the mail-notification stuff in the preferences-dialog for the according plugin. Anyway, the problem with the too tall mail- preferences dialog seems to get solved in 2.14 :-) (Maybe there's a chance to backport this for 2.12?).
Concerning the "displacement": The window is not centered, because a "hack" for bonobo is allocating space on startup for the dialog (needed due to bonobo-restrictions), which is too small for the largest dialog (mail preferences, general tab). If you are observing the startup of the dialog, you'll see that for a rather short time you have a perfectly centered dialog, which will be displaced after all dialogs are loaded. This hopefulle will vanish, when upstream is killing the bonobo/bonoboui stuff. -- Preferences menu displaced https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/20776 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
