Description Jean-Baptiste Faure 2013-12-13 15:40:38 UTC
Created attachment 90728 [details]
dialog "Link to external data" resized

The dialog to link to external data is not really resizable. Only the window is resizable but the text field to type the url is not when it is the most important.

Steps to reproduce:
1/ open a new spreadsheet
2/ menu Insert > Link to external data
3/ try to resize the dialog window.

In version 4.1.x we have the same problem, but the window is more wide with an URL field larger making the problem less visible.

Best regards. JBF

Confirmed with Version: 4.2.0.0.beta2
Build ID: 1a27be92e320f97c20d581a69ef1c8b99ea9885d
The field containing the link doesn't expand when you resize the dialog.

This dialog should not be resizable at all -- perhaps just a little bigger by default, but not manually resizable. Caolán, would you like to have a look at this? :-)

FWIW to fiddle with these things, fire up glade and load the .ui and click on the widgets that you want to expand and set the expand horizontal/vertical stuff in the "common" tab in glade. Go up the hierarchy to get the parents to expand and so on until it looks right in glade.
