[Bug 927243] Re: Search bar disappears when you "stick" the window to the side of the screen

 

Ah, I just did this at 1024x768 (hadn't done it at a low-enough
resolution) and it does trigger on 12.04.

Regardless, I think this not a compiz bug since it's doing what it's
supposed to. Software-center should provide functionality for handling
this (should it desire to) and, most importantly, have a smaller minimum
resolution size.

I think that if the issue is for compiz to be forbidden to forcibly put
windows below their minimum size, there should be another bug
specifically for that as I interpret this report to be specifically
about software-center's search bar mishaps.

Sorry for all the noise in the last few posts, by the way.

** Changed in: compiz (Ubuntu)
       Status: Incomplete => Invalid

** Description changed:

  To reproduce:
- 1. take your window, drag it to one side of the screen, or the other, so that it "sticks"/"pins" to the side of your screen.
+ 1. Using a lower resolution monitor, take your window, drag it to one side of the screen, or the other, so that it "sticks"/"pins" to the side of your screen.
  
  You will now notice that the search bar is missing, it is my thoughts
  that this is happening because when you pin the window to the side of
- the screen it makes it smaller than it is supposed to go. The best fix
- might be to make it so the search bar can expand and shrink with the
- window, perhaps.
+ the screen it makes it smaller than it is supposed to go.
