Bug 186589

Version:            (using KDE 4.2.1)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

Hi,

this is a repost of a bug from opensuse-bugzilla, posted by user Jonas Thorell. He said:

I'm using KDE 4.2.x from the factory repos. Starting from 4.2.0 build 85 (up to
the current 4.2.1) the quicklauncher plasmoid "misbehaves".

It is running in my bottom-panel (and the panel is somewhat stretched
height-wise) on the far left. Next to it I have the pager, then the
task-manager and finally the device notifier and the systray. The quicklauncher
is configured to use three rows and a maximum of 30 visible icons. The height
of my panel is enough to easily discern three rows of icons.

Prior to build 85, there was no problem in having say 20 icons showing. Now,
however, I can't add more than three (as many as the rows configured). Or
rather: I can add as many as I like but the icons are shrinked so much that
they're essentially one pixel each.

What I think is happening is that the plasmoid does no longer expand its size
to accomodate the number of icons. Instead, the icons have no choice but to
shrink to make room for the others.

Note too that the problem goes away if I remove the task-manager.

I discovered the same behavior. Stefan Binner from openSuse closed the bug overthere and said it belongs to upstream. So here it is.
