Version:           revision 736824 (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

The kontact configuration dialog treeview column is not horizontally resizable. I'll attach a screenshot.

Confirmed. Nobody has ported the layout yet I guess.

Comment 3 Thomas McGuire 2007-11-15 21:39:28 UTC

From looking at the code in Kontact, it uses KSettings::Dialog and doesn't do the layout itself, so this is a kdelibs bug.
Maybe Sebastian Kügler knows more? He recently fixed a very similar thing in KPageDialog, which is a parent class of KSettings::Dialog.

Comment 4 FiNeX 2007-11-15 21:56:55 UTC

In fact I've found the same problem on the konqueror configuration dialog window.

Comment 5 Sebastian Kügler 2007-11-15 22:48:24 UTC

I've committed a fix for the horizontal scrollbar. Making the horizontal size fit the treeview items' text better requires some more love. Or maybe just adding a resize handle in the right place.

For the moment it make more usable the configuration dialog :-)

Comment 7 Dario Andres 2008-12-26 19:05:42 UTC

Is this still valid in the current trunk ?

Comment 8 FiNeX 2008-12-26 19:22:24 UTC

The text now is readable, but there is still missing the resize handle, anyway I'm not sure it is really needed now. Dario: we should wait an answer from deverlopers about this.
