Hey all,

Just built the latest V3 from GIT on Linux (Mint 14).  Having a problem where GC starts fullscreen, and pressing F11 or View->Toggle Full Screen won't take me out of it.  Any advise on how to fix this?  

Thanks,

Tom

What version of QT are you both using?
Stock builds?

I have no issue with 4.8.3 on Ubuntu 12.10

Would also be interesting to see what the config file says, what is the geometry variable set to in  ~/.config/goldencheetah.org/GoldenCheetah.conf

How big is your screen?

I wonder if you exited in fullscreen mode?
Either way the normal OS buttons/resizing should still apply.

Mark,
if I click F11 on firefox, it change full screen and back, not in GC,
but there is more: in Firefox when you go full screen the upper bar disappear and so the 3 button (close, .....), but if you go with the mouse on the upper right side they reappear. That can be cool if implemented.

Mark,

I'm working on lot's of stuff trying to pin down this problem as well as my crash problem.  One thing I was noticing was that if I started GC from my desktop icon it was starting in Full Screen mode and I couldn't not get out.  However, sometimes when starting from the CLI it would not start in FS mode.  I was also noticing that many times when I would close GC and open it again that it wasn't saving the sort rides of my rides or splitter position etc.  

1st I made sure that I was calling the same binary.  I was.  What I figured out is that if I start GC from the CLI with PWD=~ then I would get the same behavior as starting from my desktop icon.  If I am in another directory and start form the CLI, no full screen, my splitter position, ride sort order and last used rider and all preserved.  Now, I tried creating a new - empty directory and starting GC in that to see if ti was creating any files there.  It doesn't.  In fact it seems that GC functions correctly if ti is started from any other directory than ~.  It doesn't get stuck in FS, saved ride sort order & splitter position.

Not sure if that helps.  Hope to have more soon.

Tom

I tried to recreate this on Ubuntu, running from ~ but it worked fine. Keep us posted on your progress. I've hit the buffers (temporarily) on the Kickr stuff, so will see if I can recreate this tomorrow.

Cheers,
Mark

I can reproduce this.

I'm building my self on Arch linux using gnome-shell and qt 4.8.4. To fix it I can just change the geometry in GoldenCheetah.conf to something smaller than the screen.

To reproduce I switch it to full screen, then close GC. It seems to work every time.

I put break points in QTFullScreen. Basically when it loads it doesn't know that it's full screen (isFull == false), I think the title bar is being drawn off screen.  There's no good way to grab and move on Gnome-shell. I think perhaps when changing from full screen GC should check it's geometry and if it is the same size as the screen or larger, it should resize to something more sensible. I can't think of a slick cross platform way to do this.

When maximised but not full screen I have (0 52 1366 716), when full screen I have (0 0 1366 768).

I can consistently reproduce the same issue here on Fedora.

Am a bit new to Qt, but have had a stab at it, and just submitted a pull
request for a fix that works for me..

Am also a bit new to pull requests via GitHub, so hopefully have got
that bit right too! ;)

Regards,
Jon

I had this issue some time ago and never found a way to really reproduce it.  Try this, open a terminal cd to any dir other than your home (ie "/") and start GC.  This seemed be a work around for me.
