CodeLite IDE

So I'm finally able to work on linux fulltime (escaped windoz thru changing jobs lol). Anyway, I'm using Ubuntu with the default Unity DE. I find it fine, even with the obvious Mac OSX copying.

Anyways, what I did notice that wx is serioulsy crapping all over the DE. While the main Codelite window can remember window geometry everything else can't. Workspace setting (ALT-F7) growing with every open. SH the default terminal is growing with every calling, etc.

I suspect it's basically Unity. I left every option on default. So menubars are global and put on top of screen. Dialog boxes seem to grow with 1 height of menubar with every calls.

Of course this is not showstopper as everything works as advertised. My workflow is not changed in spite of changing the OS, this is a very huge thing. Thanks Eran! But it's annoying to constantly adjust the dialog boxes' size. Could you please look into it. I can provide screenshots if needed, tho with a simple VM install (Unity options left on default) should suffice.

Thanks in advance.

Speaking of Project Settings dialog invoked with Alt + F7 (shortcut normally overridden on Ubuntu/Unity by default to move windows), it seems to be using similar widget on the left as left side disappearing issue. I also notice that this dialog grows dangerously bigger each time I open it. Is it likely for this dialog to suffer from same problem?

The latter is a bug in wxWidgets and your DE - nothing we can do to fix this. This is why some dialogs do not remember their size on Linux (I intentionally disabled this feature)
There is a bug reported for this on wxWidgets trac, but no fix yet

The other issue is also a bug in wxWidgets and the your specific window manager - nothing I can do without redesigning the dialog - and this is only a workaround :/
The project dialog is a complex and I don't plan on changing its layout due to this bug...

EDIT: I just re-read your post and I don't sure I understand: is the left side disappearing for you or not?

Ty Eran. As I suspected. Shame I like both wx and Unity heh...

I'm not sure if you are referring to me, but no, in my case, Project Settings dialog hasn't suffered from "disappearing" issue so far.
