[Pan-users] Problem with excessive width of body window in 0.139

[Per Hedeland]

Hi,

I've been happily running 0.135 for quite a while, but since I recently
upgraded HW/OS (FreeBSD), I needed to build a new Pan too - and just
used the FreeBSD "port", which is at 0.139. And now I'm having a really
weird problem, that I haven't seen mentioned here - the body pane
"insists" that it needs to be 1500+ pixels wide. I'm using the "groups
above headers to the left, body to the right" layout, which means that I
have to keep resizing the full window to be able to see any headers...

It's not an absolutely fixed size, but I can't see any pattern to it -
e.g. I may be able to resize the width of the body pane to a reasonable
split between groups/header and body when first entering a group, and
maybe read an article or two - and then when going to the next article,
the body pane resizes itself to a ridiculous width for no good reason,
and it is impossible to resize it back manually.

Now, since just about everything on my box is a new version, I can't say
whether this is a Pan problem. I tried rebuilding my old 0.135 since I
had the sources around, but this does not seem possible with my current
versions of glib (seems to be 2.34.3) etc - after I've fixed an insane
number of "Only <glib.h> can be included directly." errors, it
eventually dies with "'_' was not declared in this scope".

Anyway, if the body pane width thing is a known problem with a fix, I
would be happy for a pointer. Or if I have to go for the git version, I
can certainly try that.
