Editor window opens too large.

Sorry, I'm using 0.86.4 from the PPA in Debian Sid.

Maybe this is a regression - I can't reproduce this on Maverick on 0.86.3. The editor window saves size correctly and opens maximized if it has been closed maximized.

Hi Vadim. I don't think it's a regression since it occurs for me since 0.86.2 (doesn't remember to open maximized and also only remembers the last height, not width).
It occured for me when I used IceWM and Xfce and now with LXDE and GNOME. But I don't use Ubuntu, only Debian Sid now and before antiX (Debian Sid based).

I think Ubuntu uses Compiz, right? Maybe that makes the difference? Anyway, this is a very minor issue but if you need me to try some things just tell. Also if you want to leave it alone, then it's ok since it works for Ubuntu.

I use Unity, which uses Mutter as WM. Also, could not reproduce on Metacity. I guess, the issue has nothing to do with Shutter - IMHO its a window-manager issue.
Please, specify which WM did you try.

If I'm correct, the code tries to set the size minimum at 640-480 or 100 pixels less than original window - maybe, this is the problem.

I hope, Mario will make this clear - I'm not really good at Gtk+Perl

Now I have both Openbox (LXDE) and Metacity (GNOME).
I'll do a little video to illustrate.

If possible it is set to 640x480. If not it is set to desktop-width
-100, desktop-height - 100.

Maximized/Unmaximized state is not explicitly saved/restored. I'll have
a closer look at it tomorrow.

Here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YIl-zZy4iG8

Just saying that if you want me to install the development version, it's ok for me.

  I'll let you know when I've looked at the code.

Mario, the issue happens because of the localization. I explain.
Once I translated a little app that used gtkdialog (I tried to find it to see the details but couldn't). gtkdialog had some parameter that set the maximum character count for some entry and since the Portuguese term had more than that the text got out of place in the GUI. By raising that number the text fitted perfectly (and didn't affect the original English).
GNOME-MPlayer has an awful preferences window in pt_BR that stretches for something like two desktop widths. It's the same problem (the GTK parameters would have to be tweaked so as not to be less than the length of the Portuguese terms).
This is happening in Shutter's editor window.

As we can see at http://img80.imageshack.us/img80/3743/hometempimagenscapturas.png ,maybe the terms that are causing this are in the bottom line:
Cor de preenchimento > Fill color
Espessura da linha > Line width
Inserir imagem > Insert image
or in the top line:
Ferramen_tas > _Tools

Then you check the code for these lines and raise the maximum character count for them so the GUI doesn't deform with the pt_BR locale.

I'll try to abbreviate these entries since they have tooltips and see if it solves this.

Ok, I could reduce it to 887 px wide

Note: the window on the screenshot above wan't resized like the one in the previous screenshot.

I am a little bit confused now. Does shortening the localization solve the problem or is there still something that needs to be fixed? I've already committed a fix for saving/restoring maximized/unmaximized state.

Yes it solves it. As I said it has then a minimal width of 887 px (less than
1024). With this the maximized/unmaximized restoration works properly too.

I thought you found something to be improved and was working on it
nonetheless.

Regards.

(BTW, the translation has been updated with the shortened strings)

Of course in a screen narrower than 887 px probably the problem would
reappear.

But then if your fix for the editor to remember the maximized state works
fine, it would be fine for small screens: just leave the editor window set
to maximized.
