[solved] Addon manager window larger than screen

[kisolre]

After this thread bump https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=32330 I decided to try and report back. It turned out that I already had parts library installed and there was an update. I decided to give it a try. After the update there were some lines of the git log under the addon list. Since that was new to me I tried to enlarge the window to see more of the log. And suddenly the dialog became larger than the screen:

. There are another addons that have updates so I can try to reproduce it again if there is interest...

That's annoying. Can you open up a ticket on FreeCAD-addons for both issues please. and link back to their respective forum threads so that others can find the bug reports

Is this still happening on the latest 0.19 nightly for you?

I think it was fixed somewhere else. And also with the new Addon manager design does it show the git log any more? I dont have anything that needs updating now so cant check how it looks.

I can't test until the latest appimage is uploaded with the latest AddonManager UI changes.

I bet it's possible to pull a previous version of a freecad-addon (submodule) in ~/src/Mod/ and then open freecad and check with the addon manager. Not sure how to do this. Anyone have any ideas?

Here is how you can test the above
Most likely you have A2plus workbench installed right? (this workbench uses tags which is convenient).
Steps:

• cd ~/FreeCAD/Mod/A2plus/
• git reset --hard "v0.4.21"
  Result: HEAD is now at b2c53a4 Merge pull request #281 from kbwbe/devel
• In Addon Manager run check updates

Essentially, we're rolling back the A2plus code to a previous tag release.
git reset --hard "<tagname>"
FYI, tags are listed at https://github.com/kbwbe/A2plus/tags

Edit: Added this tip to https://www.freecadweb.org/wiki/Std_Add ... on_Manager

In Addon Manager run check updates

There is no "Check for updates" any more. You either check one by one or set option to autocheck all on startup and then update all.
I tried your suggestion. But now addon manager does not display the log so all looks Ok. Window is properly resized.
I consider this not problem relevant/deprecated.

Can you please provide feedback on the Addon Manager now (regarding https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD-addons/issues/119 ) ?
Thanks!

I tried with 0.18.3 and the window stays in screen. For the new design in 0.19 there was never such problem. I will mark the thread as "Solved".
