It seems that part of this problem has been aknowledged by inkscape developers and that a fix is on the way:
http://codewideopen.blogspot.com/2008/04/freedom-from-size-tyrany.html According to the above page, many of the issues with size are due to the use of custom toolbars from before GTK+ had stock ones and the fact that preferences to make toolbar smaller have no effect on Ubuntu. A specific bug report was opened https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/221676 and now has in progress status. Let us hope that this at least mitigates the size issues in inkscape. ** Changed in: inkscape (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => In Progress -- Windows 'jump' up and down when maximized https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/208079 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
