1.6.5 - Dialog boxes don't move

Post by dietmar »

Hi Pierre,
after a fresh install of Ubuntu 22.04.4 and 1.6.5 I noticed this unwanted behavior:

Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS Linux (64 bit)
XnView MP 1.6.5

All dialog boxes such as About, Rotate, Color a.s.o. appear at the center of the screen (as before), but cannot be moved!
Typically you click a dialog's title bar to drag it to a screen position where it doesn't cover the image detail you're interested in. You can't!

This is a severe problem which makes editing of an image almost impossible.

Thanks, Pierre!

It's interesting that other applications such as LibreOffice have movable dialogs anyway.
For those following: The trick is to install gnome-tweaks which has a setting to correct this problem.
