fritzing missing maximize/ minimize button

[S-Curley]

behaviour:
fritzing appImage missing maximize/ minimize button from the top right of the app window.

ScreenShot:

fritzing appImage
<please attach a Fritzing file if possible. To attach it, change the extension of the file from fzz to zip (e.g., bug.zip instead of bug.fzz)>
ive added it as an attachment but i dont know where it is in gitHub (my first time , i dont know how to use this site yet, sorry) i think the file is too big to share i have a message at the bottom of this window saying "File size too big: 25 MB are allowed, 90 MB were attempted to upload." im not sure what to do.

Steps to reproduce:

• Step 1: obtain a copy of fritzing and set the permission bit
• Step 2: open said copy

Expected Behaviour

i expected there to be a Minimize/maximize button in the top right of the app window so i could resize the app to my monitor for ease of use.

[S-Curley]

i will change my linux distro if that helps just tell me which one to choose.
please remember im a cleaner not a programmer. thanks

For the history of this see

https://forum.fritzing.org/t/main-window-issue/24542

For me on the same Mint linux release (but different hardware and only one monitor) running from the Fritzing download Appimage, Fritzing works the same as Windows with all three resize buttons available and Fritzing appears to operate normally. Yet for @mMerlin on Fedora, he sees just the dismiss button which seems odd to me but may just be a QT quirk.

[S-Curley]

ive just tried the fritzing appimage on my second pc and it works fine so i think it may be an issue with my first pc.
here is the system info for that pc for comparison.
hope it helps fix the button bug.

good luck...

[S-Curley]

sorry i didnt mean to close the issue.
im new...

[KjellMorgenstern]

Did you try the keyboard shortcuts?

On GTK 3.24.33 wm: muffin dm: LightDM Distro: Linux Mint 21.3 Virginia base: Ubuntu 22.04 jammy,
there should be several combinations:

Full screen ⊞ Win↑

Restore size ⊞ Win↓

where ⊞ Win is the Windows key, or Tux key, or Super key. It has many names .

also this should work:

Toggle between Full screen and original size AltF10

Some programs also accept F11 to toggle the size , but I think Fritzing doesn't.

Also, check this with a different program, not only with Fritzing.

[mMerlin]

With the possible interactions, that might need 'check this with a different program that is also using Qt'.

[KjellMorgenstern]

The main idea is to see if the function is disabled, or if the button is just not shown.

In case it works, it would also be a workaround.

It would also be good to know wether

1. keyboard shortcuts work for other programs
2. other Qt programs show a similar behavior

[S-Curley]

no i didnt try the shortcuts, sorry i didnt see that post before i did a full clean install of mint 22
i did check other programs and they were fine although i have no idea if they were QT or not. i dont know programming.
i think my version of mint 21.3 was corrupted thats all.
i was talking to peter on the fritzing forum and he has also experienced buggy buttons maybe he can help with further investigations.
i got fed up a decided that it must be sign from the universe to move to mint 22, save me losing my shit and breaking something.
sorry i bailed on the problem so soon, i jut wanted to start my new hobby in arduino-tronics, and thanks for showing an interest in fixing the bug.
