Eagle 7.6.0 Linux x64 Control Panel "Name" window resize issue

Hello,

I'm running Opensuse 13.2 x64, (KDE, Nvidia graphic driver) and I don't have any trouble like yours (all eagle 7,x.0 versions).

Maybe there is some issues with some library of the 12.3 Opensuse version that are no more compatible with last Eagle version ...

May I ask why you're using the 12.3 and not a more recent one ? I know that is not always a good idea to update to the latest  version but the 13.2 is very stable now.(unlike like the last 'leap' Opensuse version ...)...

Very simply, OpenSUSE has become quite unstable ever since Microsoft

became a major shareholder and started directing development.

I run a large number of services under Linux to support what I do.

Upgrading usually means being out of business for 1 week to 1 month

while I devote 100% of my time to fixing everything broken.  Last time I

upgraded from 11 to 12, Asterisk didn't work for a week.  This meant I

didn't have phone service for a week... not acceptable.  I listened

carefully to others upgrading to 13 and heard all manner of woe, mostly

email and php things breaking.  I rely heavily on email, run OwnCloud

for Firefox Sync, Contact sync, Calendar sync to desktops, laptops, and

phones... I use Dovecot for IMAPS to Thunderbird, SquirrelMail, etc.  I

won't bother listing all the rest of what I run as it relates to heavy

embedded systems development, hardware and software with revision

control and database support. In other words I'm a heavy experienced

user.  Linux is much more to me than a "Windows desktop replacement for

my applications". It has to be stable and work, out of the box so I can

do my own work instead of fixing someone elses work (which I do pro bono

work occasionally for open source projects).

From your description of 13.x stability it might be time to take the

upgrade risk. I will have a backup plan, such as switching to Ubuntu or

going back to 12.x if 13.x is still too messed up, or so heavily

"modified" that I might as well be learning a new distribution... Kind

of like why I switched from MS Office to OpenOffice/LibreOffice around

2003, well that and OpenDocument format [international standard ISO/IEC

26300].

BTW, I really like Eagle, as it does a lot of things right.  That's why

I'm here.
