Description Derek Broughton 2006-02-03 19:50:38 UTC
Version:           1.2.1 (using KDE 3.5.1, Kubuntu Package 4:3.5.1-0ubuntu2 dapper)
Compiler:          Target: i486-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.15-12-686

Somehow bug 94291 seems to have been regressed, because I can't make these settings stick in kde3.5, kontact 1.2, akregator 1.2.1 - even if I set them first in standalone akregator
Comment 1 Derek Broughton 2006-02-03 19:52:59 UTC
Sorry, referenced the wrong bug - should have been bug 93580
Comment 2 Frank Osterfeld 2006-09-04 00:03:15 UTC
Can't reproduce, splitter sizes are saved here. Is this still an issue with newer versions?
Comment 3 Jens Rutschmann 2007-07-10 11:57:06 UTC
I still have this problem with akregator 1.2.6 on KDE 3.5.6 compiled on gentoo.
Comment 4 Oliver Grimm 2008-05-18 16:03:51 UTC
no bug here: KDE 3.5.9, Debian testing
Comment 5 Glen Stewart 2008-09-10 04:06:03 UTC
Confirmed still a problem when running Akregator in Kontact, version KDE 4.1.1 under Hardy Heron Kubuntu.

Perhaps not at every launch, but most of the times that I start Kontact with Kmail as the default app, and switch to Akregator and find new articles in a feed, the pane size (horizontal view divider) is all the way at the top, completely obscuring the article list.  This has been a problem since I first installed KDE 4.1.0

I can confirm that issue, using Akergator 1.3.3 from Kubuntu packages.
Comment 8 Derek Broughton 2008-11-12 20:03:18 UTC
It appears to me that any time kontact crashes (even if not showing akregator at the time) the splitter view is lost.

Easy enough to test by creating a filter in knode, which is guaranteed to crash kontact.

Confirming the issue with Kubuntu 8.10, KDE 4.2, Akregator 1.4.0. Not every launching, but still it is the issue..
Comment 11 Derek Broughton 2009-09-24 15:01:18 UTC
Still a problem in KDE 4.3.1, akregator 1.5.1

Why oh why do KDEPIM developers spend so much time on issues that make zero difference to end-users but ignore the UI ?  I opened this bug over 3 1/2 years ago.
Comment 12 Christophe Marin 2010-02-22 01:50:40 UTC
This shouldn't be an issue anymore in KDE 4.4. Did anyone experience this bug with akregator 1.6.0 ?
Comment 13 Christophe Marin 2010-02-27 14:04:24 UTC
I take this silence for a 'no'
Comment 14 FiNeX 2010-03-14 17:30:29 UTC
I'm experiencing this bug in KDE 4.4.1: both horyzontal and vertical panels sizes are not saved :-(
Comment 15 Nico Dorn 2010-05-08 16:52:29 UTC
Confirmed for Akregator 1.6.2 (KDE SC 4.4.2); Distribution: Kubuntu 10.04.

Steps to reproduce the bug.
1. Start akregator with --hide-mainwindow
2. Right click on icon in system tray
3. Choose Quit
4. Start akregator with --hide-mainwindow
5. Left click on icon to show the main window

The bug appears because the values in the settings file (akregatorrc) for "Splitter 1 Sizes" and "Splitter 2 Sizes" are not saved correctly. After Step 3. (see above) the values are--in my case--set to:
  Splitter 1 Sizes=48,48
  Splitter 2 Sizes=13,13
Maybe because the window layout has not been drawn?

Workaround which solves the problem for me: Start Akregator with a shell script like this:
  #!/bin/bash
  sed -i 's/Splitter 1 Sizes=.*/Splitter 1 Sizes=261,732/g;s/Splitter 2 Sizes=.*/Splitter 2 Sizes=158,448/g' $HOME/.kde/share/config/akregatorrc
  sleep 1
  nohup akregator --hide-mainwindow &> /dev/null
  exit 0

It seems like the problem doesn't occur anymore in Akregator 1.6.5 on KDE 4.5.1. Hurray!
Comment 17 FiNeX 2010-10-11 00:00:08 UTC
I confirm it. The bug has been finallu fixed in KDE 4.5 (tested in 4.5.2)
