[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Status bar takes up too much of vertical space (#2513)

[drws]

@eht16 Unfortunately I missed your reply before. It looks right on your system. I'm attaching screenshots with the issue which is possibly still relevant.

I'm seeing this issue across variety of systems. Above example is from latest MATE 1.26.0 with GTK3 3.24.30, while this one below is from Ubuntu 18, meaning running under Unity with GTK2. Even this release is newer than the closed issues referenced by @codebrainz, so it should have a solution already incorporated.

Please take into the account the vertical spacing in the Message Window's tabs and the Status Bar height. In the first example (720p), tabs have comfortable spacing and in the second (900p), it is condensed. While it would be good to have resolution-agnostic middle-ground solution for tabs, both are still acceptable, while the Status Bar height is exaggerated in both cases. I've seen the issue also in XFCE, LXDE, possibly LXQt, with default themes in all these cases. Adwaita is used in the first case and possibly XFCE, but is probably not the reason in every case. Otherwise Geany could notify the users that have it set by default or at least mention the case in the documentation.
