It is in code for 4 moths without complains about side effects, solution
works, so closing the ticket as fixed.
> A similar issue (but maybe for a separate ticket): the wxdigitizer in
the map display has a row of buttons that is too long for the map display,
hiding the 'exit' button that I find quite essential. If one does not know
that it exists, there is not indication for the user to look for it...
This is the same problem system or wx toolbar which we cannot change and
we have only limited space on screen. We could enlarge Map Display but we
already enlarged Layer Manger, so on a small screen they fight each other
for space.
Create a separate ticket (and link this one) if it is an issue for you.
However, I cannot fully confirm. The default (when you haven't saved the
windows positions to user settings) is defined by (in `globalvar`):
{{{
MAP_WINDOW_SIZE = (800, 600)
}}}
On my computer when opening a GUI for the first time (e.g. after removing
the `.grass7` directory), I get the map window large enough (see
attachment). The original size of the screenshot (and probably of the
window) was 802x629. However, I can resize the window, so that I cannot
see the exit button anymore, so this is the way how to get to your
situation. But I'm not sure, enforcing minimal size would be a solution
but so far I saw that flexible map display has its advantages.
