https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1186875 Bug ID: 1186875 Summary: GNOME PackageKit updater (gpk-update-viewer) default window size makes no sense and it does not remember custom window sizes Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: Leap 15.3 Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: GNOME Assignee: gnome-bugs@suse.de Reporter: sknorr@suse.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- gpk-update-viewer is installed by default on openSUSE GNOME systems and periodically shows notifications about package updates. Unfortunately, it does have a tons of weird UI bugs that not only make the software feel unfinished but also make the desktop itself feel unpolished. One of them is the utterly weird window sizing behavior. You might say that is just an enhancement request, except it is pretty maddening. * By default, gpk-update-viewer always runs in full-screen mode. Given the content displayed in the window, that is unnecessarily large. Package names are displayed on the far left, package sizes on the far right. * If you go out of full-screen mode, e.g. by pressing Super+arrow-down, you get a window that is so small that basically no content fits in it. Also not useful. * Ok, so you manually resize the window to a useful size, i.e. a long, fairly narrow window, as is known from the old Ubuntu updater [1]. However, the next time you start gpk-package-viewer, it starts in full-screen mode again and if you press Super+arrow-down it resizes to a uselessly small size again. None of this is appropriate behavior for a default system component that users periodically have to interact with and which can't be uninstalled without also uninstalling important GNOME patterns. Please update to the following behavior: * Start gpk-update-viewer with a useful, non-fullscreen size. E.g. w=600 x h=800 (lower height on small screens). * Remember user-configured screen sizes on next start.
