Description Karl Czajkowski 2014-08-27 12:13:05 CDT
I have a multi-head CentOS 6.5 desktop with proprietary NVIDIA graphics drivers enabled on a single graphics card.  I can use the System -> Preferences -> Desktop wizard or the xrandr command line tool to adjust the desktop configuration to enable rotation of displays into portrait mode.

Any desktop layout including a "normal" (unrotated) display and a "left" (rotated) display causes Fiji to misbehave.

The misbehavior is that image windows (including Help -> About ImageJ...) open smaller than they should, showing the panning overlay tool.  It is impossible to resize the window larger than its initial height using the window manager controls on the window border.

If all displays are rotated, or if no displays are rotated, Fiji works properly and opens an appropriately sized window that can also be resized by the window manager controls.

I encountered this on an older build, so I did a git clone and rebuild yesterday following the instructions for building from source on the wiki. The problem is still evident in this rebuild.
