[Pkg-electronics-devel] Bug#1141191: arduino: User interface does not adjust to window size changes

[Gunnar Wolf]

Package: arduino
Version: 2:1.8.19+dfsg1-5
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I am running the Arduino IDE with two peculiarities that might be involved
in this bug, namely:

1- Running under the Sway compositor, using Wayland.
2- Running in an ARM64 laptop

What am I reporting?

1- When I run “arduino”, I get a blank window titled “Arduino Permission
    Checker”. It remains blank. Pressing Enter makes it go away.

2- The splash screen appears for a second or two, and then the IDE is
    visible — but remains fixed at 490×570. If I set the window as floating,
    it adjusts to the right size, but if I have it as a tiled window, it
    looks as a silly little square in the upper left corner. My laptop's
    display is 1920×1200, and my external monitor is 3840×2160, so... it is
    very uncomfortable.

I have tried changing the editor font, and it adjusts the text size, but
the window dimensions stay the same. I also tried changing the interface
scale, but the effect is the same: Larger (or smaller) UI on a very tight
viewport.

Thank you for any help!
