Description Alan Jenkins 2009-04-26 17:29:38 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.2.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

1. Open konqueror
2. Navigate to a directory containing images
3. Click on image to open it in konqueror
4. Press ctrl+shift+N to open a new tab
5. Press ctrl+, (that's a comma) to switch back to the tab with the image
6. Press ctrl+shift+b to "detach" the tab with the image

The detached window is the same size as the original. However, the image will be shrunk, to maybe 50% of the original.

This doesn't happen if you use "duplicate tab" (ctrl+shift+d) instead.

On trunk the image is re-sized to fit the window size. It seems not a bad behaviour. Even when the tab is duplicated, the new tab fully displays the image (like when it is opened the first time).

Thanks for your quick reply.  That would be good enough for me.  I don't use images much.  It certainly counts as a fix for this bug.

I'm not sure it is _ideal_ behaviour.  If you think about it, for some use cases it could be  similar to losing your page number in a PDF file.  If you have a large map image, then you would want "duplicate/detach tab" to preserve your zoom level an scroll position.

But please feel free to close this bug.  Konqueror is de-emphasized and this is probably a niche concern.  If I or anyone else comes to want this feature, we'll have to open a new bug as a feature request.
