Guild Wars 2

So on the recent AMA a short while back, one of the devs mentioned that the inventory resize bug has been particularly hard to nail down and that if we could find any specific factors that triggered it, they’d be able to pinpoint the issue far better.

What I propose is that we document any factors that may contribute (particular size, bags used, previous actions, etc) to the rezise bug.

My goal is to try and rule out specific factors or identify trends and attempt to repeat the bug in different setups via the same methods. I’ll try to keep this post updated with progress.

My Personal set-up and findings:

Inventory size: 160 slots + 11 shared inventory
Bag order: Shared Inventory, 20slot Invisible Pack x2, Halloween Pale x4, Starter Backpack, 20 Slot Craftman’s Bag
Interface Size: Small
Resolution: 1920×1080
Enabled Options: Show Rarity, Hide Bags.
Inventory Size After Bug Appears: 16 across (leaves me exactly 11 rows left unsquared. The same amount as my Shared Inventory?)
Inventory Size I’m selecting: 17 across (leaves exactly 1 spot unsquared).
Bug Reappears every time after: Closing the game (either via Alt+F4 or ESC>Exit to Desktop)

Based on my observations, I believe the current version of the bug may have something to do with Shared Inventory Slots and/or exiting from the game. If someone without Shared Inventory slots and the same options enabled (Show Rarity, Hide bags, Small UI, 1920×1080) but no Shared Inventory could test this theory and potential rule it out, that would be excellent.

The odd thing is, is that it doesn’t happen (for me, at least) regularly. Sometimes, when I log in, the Inventory is re-sized (and open), and sometimes it isn’t.

I almost always log in with the same character, and in the same place. It usually only happens with the first log-in of the game, not (this time around, anyway) when just changing characters (or maps).

Well, a while back I did some testing and research to try to pinpoint what could be causing it, I “documented” it here: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Inventory-Window-changing-size-alone/4252342 note that it was way before Shared Inventory was released then the issue may have not to do with it.
