Summary | 0003501: Debian bug report #358662: New Document Dialogue: Landscape/Portrait switched | ||||
Description | See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=358662 I personally cannot confirm this on my system, but maybe one of the core devs can take a look into this. From: Johannes Graumann <johannes_graumann@web.de> To: Debian Bug Tracking System <submit@bugs.debian.org> Subject: scribus: New Document Dialogue: Landscape/Portrait switched Date: Thu, 23 Mar 2006 11:10:38 -0800 Package: scribus Version: 1.2.4.1.dfsg-1 Severity: normal When creating a new document, scribus creates landscape pages if 'portrait' is selected and vice versa. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (550, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.15-1-amd64-k8-smp Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) | ||||
Steps To Reproduce | Alex, I open scribus, I hit <Ctrl>-N and then create a new document with the default settings (varying only the letter page orientation). I have attached screenshots documenting this - may look kind of weired to you, since the "New Document" dialog is not floating (I'm using the minimalist tiling window manager ion3). Ion3 comes with a floating workspace option (where programs like scribus behave 'conventionally'), which I have tried and which doesn't fix the problem. | ||||

Cannot replicate here. |
|
Malex: qouting the description: "(I'm using the minimalist tiling window manager ion3)." That's the key part of this report, I guess. This is a non-KDE and non-Gnome user, to replicate this we have to launch this windows manager first. |
|
Reminder sent to: mkoren mkoren: you are a debian user, could you try to replicate this? Thx in advance |
|
I've just tested with the abovementioned window manager (Ion3, the keyboard friendly window manager, my gosh!) on Ubuntu Dapper Drake and cannot confirm this behaviour, meaning langscape/portrait aren't switched. As for the attached screen shots -- yes, there are no floating windows, but honestly, I don't think, anybody on the scribus team is going to optimize Scribus for 1000+ window managers out there. I think the simple message should be: if you want to use Scribus on Linux, go and get KDE or Gnome. I think, it should be clearly stated somewhere on the Website and in the docs to avoid wrong expectations. Peter, what do you think about it? |

That is a major bug in that window manager.. major major major.. Useless.. erase it.. forget it.. get a real one. |

I am a debian user, and as it happens I also use Ion, and I've never had this problem. Ion is certainly weird in some respects, but it does some things well. I'm using it until I write a better one. :) I've been able to use it with Scribus fine, and have refrained from submitting usability bug reports where the problem is clearly Ion. I don't think the reporter here was making any complaints about the look of the windows, just explaining why they look unusual. Anyway I can't imagine it would affect a problem like this. A window manager just places windows. At any rate this is obviously a larger problem since the same thing is reported on Windows in 1.3.3.1 in the related bug 0003545. But I can't replicate it here. |

I meant the palette and dialog locations... |
