Description of the issue:
Sporadically, I have Brave windows that seem to have a minimum size. When I make them smaller, there is a limit to how small I can make them.
The size of that minimum is not always the same. But it remains the same when I close and restart Brave (also after reboot).
Dragging a tab out of the window into another window or as a new window (with 1 tab) resolves the issue for that tab. I can resize the new window as I like, most of the time.
Other windows of Brave that are open simultaneously can typically be resized as I like.
I had one window with many youtube tabs. This window had this problem. I drag them all into a new window. That new window now also has a minimum size (as described) but that minimum is smaller than the previous window.
The zoom size does not make a difference.
This is happening since a few days. Never happened before. Now it seems to be a constant annoyance with Brave.
Steps to Reproduce (add as many as necessary): 1. 2. 3.
Since this is sporadic, I would not know how to reproduce the problem other than opening multiple tabs and trying to resize the windows.
Reproduces how often:
Very often since maybe a week. Never before.
Operating System and Brave Version(See the About Brave page in the main menu):
|Systemversion:|macOS 10.12.6 (16G2136)|
| Kernel-Version:|Darwin 16.7.0|
Same issue for me: since a few days, I can’t resize Brave window below 1142px wide. I tried to restart the computer (macOS 10.15.6, same Brave and Chromium version) but the problem still occurs.
I think I’ve just isolated the issue doing this:
open a new window
open a lot of new tabs: the more tabs you have, the less you can resize the window
when you close some tabs, you’ll be able to make the window smaller by a few couple of pixels
So I think it’s linked to the number of open tabs you have.
@meduz@eyeq Is there any way you can share a short screen recording of the behavior as you see it on your end? I’m not entirely sure I understand exactly whats happening.
below: video of the resizing 1) normal window 2) one tab window 3) back to normal window 4) private window with a lof of tabs and zero browser extensions.
@meduz,
That is…strange. You say that you’re using a mission control gesture, but it seems like you’re just dragging/resizing the window normally – am I missing something?
Additionally, on my end, resizing windows with any number of tabs (few or many) seems to be working without issue:
Looks like it was just opened yesterday and I see that you added your report to the thread. Thank you for providing the information – please give the devs some time to review the issue.
Today, I had some additional behaviour: I typically close Brave with open windows. After reboot on the next day, I will have the same windows with the same resize-issue.
Today, that naughty window has a bigger minimum size.
What’s more, it was stuck on the uppper edge of the screen. When I dragged the window down (not resizing but changing the location on the screen), the window always snapped back. That behaviour went away a whil later after I had closed a few tabs.
