[Bug 1687506] [NEW] When first started, GIMP's Layer Dock was almost completely off screen to the right

  Thread Previous • Date Previous • • Thread Next 
Public bug reported:

The following bug was reported at:

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=781803

========================================================================================
I just installed the latest Lubuntu (17.04) and installed the latest standard GIMP in my repositories (2.8.20-1).
The Layers/Channels/Paths/Undo/Brushes/Patterns/Gradients combined dock ( 
Whew! - is there a shorter name for this initially standard opening combo dock?)
was so far to the right on my screen that I had to snag it with Alt-Drag (see screenshot).
I am using the proprietary NVidia 304 package (which I have been automatically installing since (so far) Nouveau always manages to crash something I try to use;  I have not actually tried it yet with the new Lubuntu, I suppose I ought to try one day...), and my monitor is set to a resolution of 1792x1344 (where DO they get these wierd coordinates?)
Since GIMP remembers window placement between sessions, and I moved the window/dock so that it was entirely visible, this is obviously no longer a problem,
but it would look bad for a new user of GIMP, and not everyone knows about Alt-Drag to lasso straying windows...

" Michael Schumacher [GIMP developer] "
was curious if this was a Lubuntu- or Ubuntu-only bug, as he had not encountered it.

I was going to report it at https://bugs.launchpad.net/lubuntu/+filebug
but the only "Project:"s that one can select are "Lubuntu Artwork", "... Software Center",
"... next", "... Tweaks", "LxFind", and "LxScreenshot", in none of whose categories GIMP belongs, so I am "ubuntu-bug"ing it here...

If any Ubuntu or Lubuntu users have either experienced this, or want to install it and see if
it happens for them, Michael and I (and probably others) would be interested in knowing about it.
