Buttons gone out of visible space - meetdilip - 11-26-2019
While trying to change the icon set through " preferences ", "save " button and other buttons are hidden. I tried resizing the window without any luck. How to keep everything under visible space ? Thanks.
Ubuntu 18.04

That one is for Windows users.
I see a 1366 x 768 laptop there. I use KDE, much less dumbed down than the regular Ubuntu. Is that the gnome desktop now or is it still Unity?
Either way if alt-left-click click and drag will not move a window up and off the display, then use the gnome version which is 'Win key`-left-click and drag.

For resizing, if the corner / edge handles are not easy to use, try a right click in the window title bar which gives a resize option. https://i.imgur.com/WzHdmTS.jpg
If a gnome desktop you might need to turn edge snapping off. Try in a terminal (one at a time)
Code:
gsettings set org.gnome.mutter edge-tiling false
gsettings set org.gnome.shell.overrides edge-tiling falseNow this one is demonstrated in Windows but is equally applicable to linux

Looks like alt + click + drag worked. It is like this now. Not fully fine, but manageable. Thanks.
Yes, it is customised Gnome 3.28.
I will try edge snapping toggle.

This is how it is now. Much better than before

The horizontal scroll of canvas and resize canvas buttons ( along with new layer and tool options bottom level buttons ) are below the visible window now. I tried
1. right click : resize
No luck, it is greyed out
2. Tried the gsettings commands
No luck
3. Alt + left click + drag
Still the bottom part of the GIMP is outside the visible window
4. Win key + drag
It works, but when the bottom part comes into window, the top part which includes the " menu " goes out of visible window.
Everything was fine 2 days back. I don't know why it is like this now. I did do some update last day prompted by Ubuntu.

Usually, when this happens (with any app) I move the window (Alt+drag) until I get a border (top or bottom) and then I click on the border to resize the window.
Otherwise you quit Gimp, edit the sessionrc file in the Gimp profile, find the window, and tweak the position/size.

Other ways
I do not know why a right click resize is grayed out, but I have shown anyway.
F11 toggles between full screen and window size, that would get you the bottom buttons.
Do not see why the window corner handles, if you can get to them, do not work. Sometimes the width of the docks prevent resizing.
For what it is worth https://youtu.be/rmpE-TlQgHA a couple of minutes
If you have not disabled edge snapping, the Gimp window will expand to suit. (Hate this and difficult to turn off in the gnome desktop)
Also if you are using a laptop, you might want to slim down the very cluttered default Gimp interface. This in Windows, just the same in linux https://youtu.be/8M2P0N-qhm0
RE: Buttons gone out of visible space - meetdilip - 01-16-2020
F11 is also not giving the bottom area

Alt + drag is not helping. Tried a few times
Where can I find sessionrc ? Path please.
Preferences > Icon themes > Small worked this time.

Does that mean the problem is fixed? From your screenshot 1366 x 768 you are using a laptop. You can improve things by closing some of the toolbox icons. Everything is still available from the menus.
Quote:Where can I find sessionrc ? Path please.
This is in your Gimp profile ~/.config/GIMP/2.10 and the bit to look for
Code:
.........
(session-info "toplevel"
(factory-entry "gimp-single-image-window")
(position 144 144) <<<<<
(size 1312 687) <<<<<
(open-on-exit)
(aux-info
(left-docks-width "242")
.........or rename it sessionrc-bak to disable. Start Gimp and see what happens.
EDIT: You know, In linux you can over-ride the Gimp settings from Window Management settings, maybe you have some setting in place screwing things up.
...but does depend on the desktop environment .. gnome or MATE or xfce or ....? Which one you using?
