[MU4 Issue] Program window can't be tiled (using shortcuts) in Linux

Open rgreen5 opened this issue 2 years ago • 4 comments

Describe the bug

MS3 could be freely tiled in Linux Mint using the standard shortcuts (Winkey + arrows). However, the MS4 window does not respond at all and remains full-size.

To Reproduce

  1. Launch program and maximize using the button on the program window.
  2. Try any of the Linux Mint tile shortcuts: Winkey + up / right / left / down arrows.

RESULT: Nothing happens.

Expected behavior

MS4 should tile like MS3.

Platform information Linux Mint 20.1

Additional info

Related (?) issue at #10983.

Same issue with MS4 alpha privat / Linux Mint 20.3 AppImage

Incidentally, this is problematic if you are transcribing music from other documents using a split screen.

P.S. Doesn't just affect tiling; the user cannot manually reduce height or width of program window below a certain minimum either.

These tiling shortcuts do work correctly on Windows 11; however, the window often ends up being too large to fit in the tile space due to the minimum size issue (#10965, #13372, et. al.).

Also manual tiling (dragging the window to the sides and corners) does not work in gnome. Tested on Fedora 36. However, dragging to the top of the screen correctly triggers maximise window

OS: Linux Mint 20.1, Arch.: x86_64, MuseScore version (64-bit): 4.0.2-230430504, revision: github-musescore-musescore-a36e598

I used to regularly transcribe pdfs manually to MS3 by tiling the pdf to the top half and MS3 to the bottom half of the screen (laptop). This is impossible with MS4.

Increasing the priority, since the main issue here is that the minimum window size is too big, which is indeed very annoying, and that is probably also why those tiling shortcuts on Linux don't work.

Since this is a minimum size issue, I'm going to update #10965 to focus only on the Snap layouts not working.
