Subject: [Gimp-user] Inital zoom ratio bug?

So I'm using Gimp 2.8 in single window mode and not fullscreen window on winXp. Initial zoom ratio is set to "Fit to window". And yet when I open a big image which wouldn't fit to Gimp's window, Gimp still resize its own window even to out of my screen's resolution boundary. I don't want that. My pref window: http://i.imgur.com/fVHaR.jpg So is this bug or how can I prevent Gimp doing this? Thanks for any answers!

That is odd. I have the same settings (including single-window mode, with my window carefully sized/placed to fill the whole screen because there's a bug with maximized window status) and have yet to encounter the problem.

Hmm ... I have an idea what could be responsible (though exactly why fails me), so try these steps:

1 - Size your GIMP window as desired. 2 - Go to the "Window Management" section of Preferences and hit the button for "Save Window Positions Now". 3 - Restart GIMP and see if the behavior persists.

When using single-window mode, try tuning off fit-to-window etc. by unchecking resize and zoom behavior.

I would file a bug and inform Martin.

Yes, I would switch it off if it hadn't been switched off already (see my linked image in earlier post). Anyway currently doing what Richard said. At least Gimp won't save the position. But it sure sounds like a bug. I have further inspected my problem and it seems Gimp has a minimal window size that will resize to no matter what preferences I set for it. To reproduce the bug:
1. make singlemode window,
2. Resize Gimp's window the smallest you can (for me it's 454x591) 2. switch off zoom & resize behavior, 3. drag and drop (or file/open) an oversized image on Gimp, 4. Boom! Resized window!
I just wish I know where to look for this in the source files. :/

Let's compare: My GIMP's minimum window size is (458x607), window border and title bar included. When I open an image, GIMP resizes its window to a minimum of (875x563) (border and titlebar still included) - however, this is not a problem since my saved window settings are normally about (1024x768).

Wait -- what desktop resolution do you run? A minimum width of 875 would definitely be an issue if you're running 800x600 or less.
