--- Comment #12 from Ron <kdenlive-b...@contact.dot-oz.net> --- It's sounding a lot like your window manager is not playing nice with Qt - there used to be some gtk shims that could help with that, but I can't say offhand if they're still needed or still help. I do recall it being a bit of a black art to find the right environment variables to set to get Qt to play nice on my high dpi screens outside of a KDE desktop. Oh, and it's possible wayland vs X makes some difference here? But essentially the problem is that all Qt can do is say "Please sir, I would like a window of this size, in this position", and it's entirely up to your window manager as to whether it respects that wholly, partly, or just says screw you, 640x480 should be enough pixels for anyone. If you're running the current appimage it should be using the code I indicated, so if it's not half your screen size, I'd be looking at how your WM is configured. I know with the plasma VM I could actually set explicit sizes and positions of my own for various applications and their dialogs. The MATE + sawfish system mostly just always Does Something Reasonable, so I've never messed with that more. Hopefully you can find something to share to help the other people this is afflicting. It clearly sucks, but if the code is already asking for half the screen and not getting it, us poking the code to make it ask for more isn't likely to help a lot. We need to find why the WM isn't giving it that. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
