Share window: vertical window resize not possible

[mmattel]

When using the context menu to share an item, a window opens to do so. This window is quite large and can´t be vertically resized. Having a standard Full HD resolution 1920x1080, the window is so big, that it is hard to get it fully visible. Trying to resize it is not possible. This is not a good solution. The window should be vertically resizeable (with a minimum size eg, half the size of the vertical resolution) and a scrollbar should be added if the actual size is lower than the needed one to show all elements.

Expected behaviour

Vertical window resize possible

Actual behaviour

Vertical window resize not possible

Steps to reproduce

1. Open share settings via context menu

Client configuration

Client version: 2.7.4

Operating system: W10x64Pro

OS language: DE

That's not how it is supposed to look like, and while the Window can be enlarged it can't be reduced below its initial value.
What you describe sounds like a hdpi scaling issue, are you using a hdpi laptop with a 1080 screen attached?

@TheOneRing
I am using a Fujitsu Lifebook U748, see the specs at: https://www.fujitsu.com/fts/products/computing/pc/notebooks/lifebook-u748/
No external monitor used.
The middle field as shown in your image above is so big, that you run into the issue described.

Q: Why not having the content in a frame and if the frame fits into the physical screen no scrollbar is shown and if it does not fit a scrollbar shows up - and you can resize the window down to a min height which is always half of the physical screen height?

[TheOneRing]

In the first place the dialog should not get as big as you describe it :D
And yes it should allow resizes :D

@TheOneRing any progress on that?

[TheOneRing]

Do you have many recipients or is there any reason why that should grow that big?
Could you send a screenshot to [email protected] :)

[mmattel]

It is the initial screen having NO sharees = list is empty...

[TheOneRing]

I don't see how the dialog should become that big.
The dialog can be resized, but not below a minimum size.
The minimum size is supposed to be lower than what you describe.

Scroll bars don't solve all problems and cause some #7043 .

The following screenshot is the SMALLEST size I can get on my screen. Intel UHD 1920x1080x60Hz.
Pls see that this is defacto close to full height and can´t be downsized!

Issue still exists, just tested, very bad

On Linux on the latest master, resizing works in both directions. This is the minimal size I can achieve:

I'll check the .ui file and the C++ code to see where the minimum window size is set.

At a first glance, I can't find any code that would enforce a minimum size, it seems like Qt is to decide the initial and minimum sizes.

@TheOneRing resizing to a size smaller than the initial value is possible, at least in my tests.

This is the smallest I can get on windows, with 2.9.0-beta2

• it is resizeable in x and y (to make it larger than in the screenhot)
• it seems to implement a min of 2/3 height now. OK
• (still quite large, showing much whitespace. Not sure why that 2/3 is a min, it could also be a max value, imo.)

[mmattel]

Why can´t we add a content based appearing vertical scrollbar and size the blank area down to a minimum, lets say 3-4 blank lines? if a shown content fits, remove the scroll bar automatically, if not show it. I strongly believe that there are ready to use libraries in QT for this
