Screen shot showing the issue

After upgrading pango to 1.32.1 (from 1.30.1), the name of a directory in Thunar gets cut off because the first column's width is too small.

This occurs on Arch Linux with the [testing] repository enabled and thus the following software versions:

thunar 1.4.0-2
pango 1.32.1-1
gtk2 2.24.13-1
exo 0.8.0-1

Would this be a bug in Thunar or pango 1.32.x? If so, I can try reporting it there.

I'm sorry I can't provide more useful information (e.g.: exact steps on how to reproduce the issue).

Here it's easy to reproduce by increasing the font size, or changing DPI settings in xfce4-settings-manager.

Its a gtktreeview and pango, not much of this code is in Thunar. I can check the text renderer, but if is suddenly breaks, it feels like a pango regression.

Strange: I could only reproduce this (comment #1) on one system. pango-1.30.1 is installed on every machine.
Comment 4 Nick Schermer editbugs 2012-11-07 20:14:34 CET
Using 1.32 as well, but works fine here.

Video of the issue; occurs with pango 1.32.1 + medium or full hinting + Dejavu Sans font

Can you maybe reproduce the issue when using medium or full hinting and the Dejavu Sans font as shown in the video? It's noteworthy that the column width changes when switching between none/slight hinting and medium/full.

This has been fixed in pango by the following commit:

https://git.gnome.org/browse/pango/commit/?id=97c470eb

(The fix is included in pango v1.32.6 and later.)


Feel free to close this as Invalid since the issue wasn't in Thunar.
Comment 7 Harald Judt editbugs 2015-02-21 12:18:15 CET
Closing invalid because it had nothing to do with thunar.
