[tor-bugs] #11319 [TorBrowserButton]: TBB Automatically Chooses an Inappropriate Size for Its Main Window
#11319: TBB Automatically Chooses an Inappropriate Size for Its Main Window

TBB opens with the bottom edge of its frame beyond the lower limit of the
screen in Gnome3.
This is a follow-on to Bug #11078 and is motivated by a request for
additional information there.
TBB attempts to choose window dimensions from a small set so any
particular user is likely to fall into the same category with many others
and therefore be less identifiable. It should pick a window size that
fits completely within the screen size on the user's terminal. Here is a
case where it doesn't.
When the User hovers the cursor over a link, Firefox shows a pop-up box
(toaster) in the lower left containing the link's URL. In the attached
screen shot, only the top few pixels of that toaster are visible.
Maximizing the TBB window brings it all back into view but impacts
anonymity because Firefox reports the new window size in response to
server inquiries. The full-screen window size may be more or less unique
to the User.
