[Bug 1163529] Re: image preview can be larger than display

 

As this bug is recent and don't seems closed, I'm adding information here rather than opening a new, strictly identical one.
Especially considering the Launchpad suggestion system of current existing bugs.

Need a secondary Fix to commit visibly so, as problem don't seems resolved in my case:
=> see this screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/RISXP6b.jpg
Screenshoted just after clicking on it to preview.
The image previewed is this one: http://i.imgur.com/HZsXpCj.jpg (1600x1083)

Information:
Dual monitor:
(Secondary) Left: 1600x1200 (native resolution used)
(Main) Right: 1920x1200 (as native resolution, but 1280x720 mode used, for reasons long to explain here).
=> The right monitor is the one of the screenshot.

Here is the configuration used in my Xorg.conf (NVidia GTX 260 card,
last stable version of the driver from nvidia.com used which is the
319.23), watch especially the "metamodes" line so:

<<<< For my main right screen @ 1920x1200 used as 1280x720 but 1220x680 effective in fact because of the overscan of my monitor (ViewPortOut is the new method that need to be used to manage overscan on NVidia cards since few times)  >>>>

Title:
  image preview can be larger than display

Status in Birdie:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  It seems that the image preview window can be larger than my display
  size. It would probably be better to not create a (non-resizeable)
  window that is so large that the entire image cannot be viewed. Birdie
  should find out my resolution and display a smaller window.
