Screenshots included as requested.

The bug is can be reproduced in a different (new) user account. It is not reproduced with Compiz Fusion turned off.

Also, I've found that it only happens when the Image Collection is displayed in the EOG window. (F9 or View->Image Collection).

May you tell us a few steps in order to reproduce this behavior? Is this reproducible with another new user created on your system? do you get the same behavior with another application?

To reproduce:

Enable Compiz Fusion
Open an image in Eye of Gnome
Turn on Image Collection (View->Image Collection or F9)
Close all open EOG windows
Re-open an image. Bug seems to be more prevalent with a Landscape-proportion high resolution image. Opening a Portrait-ratio photo does not show in the bug.

In Evince, in Gnome 2.20 (Ubuntu 7.10) I had a similar problem. The viewer would open too big for the document it was displaying. It had something to do with the file ~/.gnome2/evince/ev-metadata.xml.

I found this in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=597153

I don't know if that was related at all. Either way, the Evince bug is no longer an issue.

My screen resolution is 1280x800

And it can be reproduced with a brand new user account

Thanks!

Hi everybody.

I have a similar problem with Eye of Gnome version 2.22.2. In the moment of the mistake, I use Compiz.

Same problem here on Debian Sid and Ubuntu Hardy.

So, it's not ubuntu bug.

The question is: "Why eog try to resize it self when loading huge pictures?"
