I cannot reproduce this on the 0.90.1 Sugar on Fedora 14 or in sugar-jhbuild.

Note that this patch was never applied. It doesn't address this specific ticket, but it is a much cleaner implementation of the spiral code than is currently in mainline.

Note that this patch applies to the 0.88 version of favoriteslayout.py

I still cannot reproduce the overlap problem, but the problem with shrinking is failing to account for the increase in the maximum size of the icons in the Ring View.

The question is, what should be the size of the icons in the Random View? Should it track the size in the Ring View?

<walterbender> silbe, m_anish: re #2592, it was decided to keep the Random icons always at 'Standard Size'
<m_anish> walterbender, but the current behavior is that the icon size gets reduced?
<walterbender> m_anish: only if you start with large icons
<walterbender> m_anish: if the icons are never large, they won't shrink
<walterbender> m_anish: I introduced the regression when I make the icons large by default.
