meld windowing broken Ubuntu 22.10
I have recently upgraded to Ubuntu 22.10 which is using gnome 4 I believe. I needed to use meld
to compare files today and the windowing has some big problems. It is just usable. It is difficult to work with another window or editor when meld
is on-screen
Please see screenshot...
- At the bottom of the screen there is No horizontal scroll bar
- There is no window frame (control) at the bottom.
- Because there4's no frame/border on the bottom I can't resize the window bottom Up.
- Also I can not resize the window height down by resizing using the top of the window, it only lets me shrink the window size by a dozen lines or so.
- The maximise control doesn't work
- The corner resize control only allows with changes, height changes are limiete as with the top-window drag/resize.
- There is no corner control for the bottom of a window.
- The "Always on Visible Workspace" accellorator A is no longer available
- The "Move to Another Workspace" accellorator W is no longer available
- The "Only on this Workspace" accellorator O is no longer available
- The "Always on Top" accellorator T is no longer available
- The double-click on left or right window edge no longer works to expand across the screen
- The double-click on top (there is No bottom edge) window edge no longer works to expand vertically on the screen
- The worst thing is that I can't look at differences below the bottom of the screen -- Scrolling and Next-Diff both stop at the last visible line.
- Probably the second worst of all is that the
Meld
window displayed takes up a minimum of 80% of the screen height.- This makes it very hard to work in another window while looking at the file comparison
- Text formatting is lost(?) when window is too thin.
Other windows on this installation are working as expected, more or less the same as with the LTS Ubuntu 22.04. So far only Meld is showing these limitations. Therefore it is likely a bug with meld not the windowing on the platform
