Preferences window opens too wide

[alexwhitman]

Screenshot to illustrate. Also, when moving the mouse cursor to the edge of the window the cursor changes to the resize image but the window itself isn't resizeable.

Things like that are usually caused by some UI element, probably a string, running too wide. Can you look through the preferences if there is anything that could cause this?

[phw]

Just after I wrote the above I found one thing that can cause this: When entering a very long bookmark title this will blow up the preferences dialog. I think the labels should not grow the size of the dialog but rather get cut off if they don't fit.

There could be more things causing the dialog to grow, but that's one possible issue I found in quick testing.

I've updated the bookmark editor to change the horizontal scrollbar policy from NEVER to AUTOMATIC which corrects that specific behavior for me.

@alexwhitman Could you check all of the pages of your preferences and look for any widgets which are displaying abnormally large strings.

[alexwhitman]

I can't see any long strings. I don't have any bookmarks set and most of my settings are the default except for some of the dropdowns and checkboxes. I can provide screenshots of each page if that helps?

[gnunn1]

If you can take screenshots of just the pages that have controls that go all the way from the left edge to the right edge that would be helpful. Also, did this issue just start with 1.5.8?

[UndarkAido]

I just installed Tilix 1.5.8 on CentOS 7.3, and I'm having the same issue.

[kascote]

Same issue here. I don't saw at first glance any long string or some strange wide widget.
The issue started with 1.5.8. I'm using ppa from webupd8team

Screenshots below. Not sure what version it started with as I haven't looked at the preferences recently and I'm often compiling the latest master version to test.

[NoXPhasma]

I have the same issue since the update to 1.5.8. There are several drop down menus which use the full width of the window, but none of them has any text which would explain that.

It's also impossible to make the window smaller when opened, I can only raise the size.

I'm not seeing the issue in Ubuntu 17.04, I'll try CentOS next.

[NoXPhasma]

I and others in this issue have multi monitor setups. Maybe this is the cause?

[UndarkAido]

I only have one monitor, but I'm using a VM over VNC.

[kascote]

At this moment I have one monitor, but had 2 a couple months ago

confirm same issue on Ubuntu Gnome 16.04 LTS at the manual zip and via ppa installation

I have a dual monitor and i can't reproduce it on Archlinux with Gnome 3.25 (alpha)

[gnunn1]

Is everyone who has this issue on GTK 3.18 or earlier?

[alexwhitman]

I am, on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.
