A couple questions : 1) do you get the same behavior with other Gtk apps? (gedit, ...) 2) what window manager are you using? 3) if you still have gtk 2.12 somewhere, could you : 3a) run "xprop &> xprop.log" in a terminal 3b) click on the open/save dialog 3c) attach the log here (and if you could also do it with gtk 2.14, that'd be really cool Let's see who the real bad guy is, the WM, the toolkit, or firefox (which is known to do stupid stuff from time to time). Thanks
1. yes gedit, geany also are affected 2. xfwm4-4.4.2-r1 3. I attach for 2.14.3-r2 ... later will attach for 2.12 when I downgrade it ... another thing which I see is that when open save dialog is open initially it is open like small window and then resized to actual size ... may be this is the problem ...

(In reply to comment #4) > another thing which I see is that when open save dialog is open initially it is > open like small window and then resized to actual size ... may be this is the > problem ... While this is a big issue for any WM, it's not the only factor involved in window placement. ICCCM and EWMH are complicated specs and conformance by clients and WMs is unsure at best. :) Thanks
gtk+ 2.14.4 make no difference only one dialog correctly opened is this in gimp, and this dialog is not initially opened as small window and then resized to actual size ...
Created attachment 169096 [details] small window opened initially this is small window (actual size) open initially which is correctly centered and then resized to actual size of dialog which use top and left position of this small window so actual window is not centered as result ... and also sometimes this window is just not resized and stays small ...
I'm currently rummaging through gtk's code these days for work, and whenever I can, I try to take a look at what it would take to solve this bug (because it's a big PITA with Metisse's FVWM). So far, I can only say that fixing this is Gtk 3.0 material. The changes look far from trivial. I'll keep digging when I can though :)
I must say that right now I switch to metacity and issue is still here ...
this thing annoy me enough to start looking at code and after couple of minutes I figure how to fix it ... ugly but for now works for me: in gtk/gtkfilechooserdialog.c function gtk_file_chooser_dialog_constructor before: gtk_widget_show (priv->widget); force a resize: file_chooser_widget_default_size_changed(priv->widget, GTK_DIALOG(object)); so window is resized before show ... now my dialogs are OK it complains about invalid type of second argument but it works ... so anyone with knowledge please tell me how to do it correctly :)
Same problem here. Just to make it clear: it's only me and 123456 who are seeing this problem or other people just don't care?
As I said earlier, I can also see it too. It's a known bug. The problem is that until recently, xorg/gtk/metacity were all slow enough to hide the problem... Thanks

I'm still trying to find out if this bug is triggered/papered over by some specific WMs (don't think so, it happens with both metacity and compiz), xorg releases, driver releases or settings
Nope, if you trace the actual X11 protocol, you'll clearly see a Map message and then a Configure message which changes the size of the window. At best, you can tweak your WM to "delay" window appearances with a small timeout, say 200ms. That way, the WM has a good chance of catching the Configure message and resizing the window before displaying it. Cheers :)
Rémi, please go upstream with your gathered information, it seems to lack similar details of the matter. Upstream bug URL in the URL field now.
gtk+-2.14.7 still have same bug ...
upstream *just* fixed it in svn trunk. Details are in the upstream bug report. Thanks
As there are trunk patches, considering this as a gtk+-2.14 stabilization blocker. Just marking as such, so that when the time comes can see and decide if to proceed with stabilization or take care of this backporting right before - e.g, not guaranteeing this will be fixed before stabilization unless there's a strong reason and will not to
Created attachment 178881 [details, diff] gtkfilechooser.patch This patch is taken from opensuse's package and seems to work ok, at least for me. ..
Fixed in 2.14.7-r1
