[L2Ork-dev] Purr Data 2.13.0 released - Weird Patch Window issues

[Linux Rouen]

Hello All,

Thanks to the developers and all involved for releasing Purr Data 
2.13.0. It's looking promising. I'm using the OBS channel.

I just made a quick test under Manjaro 20.0.3 KDE Plasma (based on Arch 
Linux) and there are some weird issues with the way of how the patch 
windows are now handled.
This was not the case with the original V.2.12.0 release under Manjaro.

The MAIN Patch Window Size (not the sub-patches if any) has some kind of 
dysfunction, even if in Prefs / GUI the Zoom level is clicked to be 
saved/loaded with the patch.
When I mean MAIN patch, I mean the patch at the higher level. If there 
is only one patch, this patch as the same bad behavior than the main 
patch with sub-patches.

So, You save your patch with its window maximized (not full screen) and 
close it. Then at load:
a)- the patch window is not opening at its saved size, it's smaller 
(windowed), but the zoom level is correct (patch content is now beyond 
window limits).

You save again the patch without changing anything and close it. Then at 
load:
b)- the patch window is not opening at its saved size, it's getting even 
smaller (still windowed) than in a), but the zoom level is correct.
c)- each time you save it, close and open it, the patch window is 
getting step by step smaller and smaller.

You maximize the window size, save it again and close it. Then at load:
d)- you are back to a)-, and so on, until you get a window having the 
size of a postal stamp.

You maximize the window size, you zoom out (-) its content, save the 
patch and close it. Then at load:
e)- both the patch window size and the patch content zoom level are correct.

You maximize the zoom of the patch content still with the patch window 
maximized, save and close it. Then at load:
f)- you are back to a)-, and so on.

With the patch being in c) state, you change the patch content to 
optimal zoom, you save and close it. Then at load:
g)- the patch window size is bigger = a) state and the content zoom 
level is correct (but anymore optimized as the window got bigger), and 
so on.

I didn't try all possible combinations.

Best, Joseph
