I just installed Ardour 9.5 on Linux Mint 22.3 (X11-based). When I open the Cue view and add a clip to a track or sometimes after clicking on this new clip in the track Ardour changes the size of the main window and it does not fit on the screen anymore. The maximize button on the top right is removed and I can only minimize or close Ardour (see screenshot)
Then I added more clips, created a sequence and the little white triangles left from the clips do not ‘show up’ or ‘vanish’ correctly (I mean the blinking).
I’ve experienced this several times as well, but in my case it’s hard to reproduce.
I’m pretty sure it happened once or twice when I expanded the MIDI Inspector in the pianoroll. Ardour resized the main window beyond the screen size, although the maximize and other buttons didn’t disappear. I bet it may be window manager dependent. I’m using Debian Trixie with KDE Plasma on X11. I hadn’t noticed this behavior before 9.5.
If you can reproduce it reliably, I’d suggest filing a bug in Mantis.
