Description Georg Wittenburg 2008-06-28 16:52:47 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.0.83)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

The toolbars of various applications unlock while the application is being used. Two examples:
- Lock toolbars in Konqueror, surf to a website (location bar or bookmarks) -> toolbars become unlocked.
- Lock toolbars in Kontact, double-click on a mail to open it in a new window -> toolbars become unlocked.

In both cases, the context menu entry to lock the toolbars is still checked.

Comment 1 Georg Wittenburg 2008-07-19 16:58:39 UTC

This has changed slightly in 4.0.98:
- In Konqueror, the toolbars stay locked. However, with each start of the program, the address bar grows a bit to the left, and the buttons become inaccessible one by one.
- No change in Kontact.

This bug is a duplicated of bug 163772

Comment 3 Georg Wittenburg 2008-09-06 20:50:54 UTC

This has changed slightly in 4.1.1:
- In Konqueror, the toolbars stay locked. However, after restarting the program, the previously hidden HTML toolbar appears.
- No change in Kontact.

Can anyone still reproduce this bug again with KDE 4.2beta1 or 4.2svn? Thanks :)

Toolbars work as expected in Konqueror as with unofficial Debian packages 4:4.1.86+svn902586-0r1. Kontact is still broken as described above (lock toolbars in KMail component -> double click to open mail in new window -> toolbars in main window become unlocked, while tick in context menu remains).

Thanks for fixing Konqueror! Any thoughts on making locked toolbars the default?

@Georg: please, can you post a new bug report for the Kontact bug ?

I think the main bug (in kdelibs) was fixed for current 4.2 builds (as a lot of toolbar related bug seems to be fixed). However, Kontact manages its components in a different ways because it embeds them. 

I'm marking this as fixed as I can no longer reproduce the original bug.

@Georg: before posting a new report, can you take a look at http://techbase.kde.org/Contribute/Bugsquad/Bug_Triage_of_Common_Issues_in_kdelibs#Toolbars_errors_.28states_not_saved.2F_icon_size_and_position_changes.29_in_KDE_4.0.x.2F4.1.x and try to find a related bug for the Kontact issue. 
Thanks :)

I opened a new bug for KMail at http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=179429.

Thanks for working on this, 4.2 looks awesome!
