Subject: 0.11-RC2 Auto-resize bug
I know that this bug has been reported multiple times, but still there seems to be no bug-tracker-entry related to it.
In my case the bug happens since 0.10 stable (I'm quite sure) and still exists in my current 0.11-RC2 setup on Windows XP SP2. Also it may be of interest that I always use the "Make roster a tool-window" option. The bug is very annoying and it makes the auto-resize feature more or less useless.
After start, the roster size is never exactly fitted to the number of contact list items. Most of the times the window is about 2-3 roster items longer (free space in the bottom). Sometimes the roster-window is displayed out of the screen (title bar is no longer visible because it is above the visible desktop). The problem is then temporarily solvable by resizing the window a little, or collapse and reopen a group or account item, both actions seem to trigger a correct auto-resize method. Sometimes the window will cripple itself again after some time, I think this is related to a roster refresh or a contact list item's status change.
There is also another problem which might be related somehow: After minimizing my Psi contact list to the system tray, i can't reopen it by double-click or the context menu "Show" option. It seems the workaround for this problem is to disconnect all running sessions and go "Online" again afterwards or simply restart Psi completely. But this problem appears very infrequently for me.
Some other threads possibly about the same bug:
