Description wrtechnopath@gmail.com 2019-04-04 02:10:27 UTC
Description:
Using Base and its wizards I've experienced problems proceeding thru the screens because one of the panes doesn't resize properly. I can't resize the working wizard window in Windows or Ubuntu.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open a database
2.Open a wizard
3.Please let the dialog boxes be sizable.

Actual Results:
I could not change the size of the wizard window

Expected Results:
Any interactive window/box should be resizable


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Wizard for tables, queries etc. aren't resizable. Have they ever been resizable?

but we really need to have it resizable?

UX-team, we need your opinion here

We allow resizing only for dialogs that require variable user input such as file browsers where you enter a file name. https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Design/Guidelines/PropertyDialog

Proper resizing should be done by the content, please change the ticket so we can dig into this bug.

The OP talks about a window management problem that should be fixed by the DE in use, and has nothing to do with resizability.
