I’m unable to resize the image details side pane (shown on the right side in shotwell). All the lines are cut off and only show when I hover over them with the mouse. Drives me crazy… any way how to resize this?
Hi, It is not resizable, but this is also way to small, usually only the path is shortened
Hm… kinda sucks. 
I tried a bunch of different GNOME settings but to no avail. It always stays this way on my 4K display. Making it resizeable would mitigate the problem.
Are you scaling your UI? Probably the logic to adapt to that is flawed
In fact I am, yes… I’m mixing some displays and I’m scaling the ones with lower resolution by 1.25 
Thanks, I will check if something is going wrong there
FWIW I just tried running shotwell on a computer without display scaling and can confirm that the side pane is displayed correctly. So this might indeed be related to scaling.

Must be something else at play as well. With pure display scaling, I cannot reproduce it. Do you also have customized your fonts?
I probably have, yes. The question is “where” 
as I’m using shotwell running under i3wm with some xfce stuff mingled in between. Do you have any ideas where to look for the font name shotwell would be using? I could not find any meaningful info with gsettings list-recursively.
If you run shotwell from console with GTK_DEBUG=interactive shotwell, you can then click on the crosshair top-left and select the label of one of the information entries. If you then switch to “CSS Nodes” the font-family should be on the right
Anyway. this obviously needs a smarter way of handling this, the problem with making it fully resizable was that it messed up the rendering of the thumbnails completely
Your dialog looks kinda different than the one I get 
but I guess it would be “Noto Sans 10” Also the Font Scale at 2.00 might play into it?
