When I write large equations, I'd sometimes want to increase the size of the TexMaths window. Currently it doesn't appear to be possible. Is there a specific reason for that?
Ah, got it, this must be because of GNOME Shell (I'm on Fedora 20). I think it considers that modal windows should only be small dialogs and should not be allowed to be resized. Is it necessary to make this window modal? (Zotero for example does not block the LibreOffice window when inserting a reference.)
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Actually there are no arrows, and even in the window menu Resize is greyed out. That's why I think GNOME Shell considers a modal window should not be resizable.

OK, what you have is normal: as I said in the other bug report, the TexMaths windows are not resizable in the usual way (this is a limitation of the SDK). To resize the TexMaths window, you have to use the four arrows located in the left corner of the TexMaths window. Just click on one of them and you should see the window size increasing or decreasing.

You mean the arrows on the left of the TexMaths window have no effect?
Can you give me your system type and version ?
Thanks,

Do the arrows work or not?

Can you post a screenshot?
What system do you use?

I'm on Fedora 20 with GNOME 3.10. Here's a screenshot with the window pop-up menu and greyed out entries.

Ah, I thought you were referring to the cursor arrows. So this report can be closed and merged with the other one.
OK, I close it.
