Description khaj.zrlo 2006-10-05 23:48:04 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.2)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
OS:                Linux

The konqueror --geometry command line parameter seems to interfere with later manual geometry adjustments made to the konqueror window after startup. When I give a --geometry argument to an app, I expect it to use that for the initial window geometry, but any subsequent manual adjustments to the window size or placement should remain until I again manually adjust it.

That's not what seems to be happening when I start konqueror with --geometry. What I see is that after startup (where the window is sized as I specify) and after I have manually resized the konqueror window, every time I switch to/create a new tab, konqueror resizes itself back to the original startup geometry.

I reported this on kde-forum.org (http://www.kde-forum.org/thread.php?threadid=15393) and Bram85 suggested I open a bug report, although he said that looking at the source, it would not be easy to fix.

I'm running Konqueror 3.5.2 on Ubuntu Dapper, with sawfish window manager.

This apparently incorrect behavior was also reported in a comment to Bug 91577, however, that bug was closed as a dup of 31595. I really do think this is a bug, and hope that it will be reconsidered. Thanks.

Confirmed on 3.5.9 an trunk (r809608)

Checked this issue with master/branch 4.6 compiled from sources, works here.

When I start konqueror with --geometry and manually then resize the window, adding new tabs does set the window to the original startup geometry. Same correct behaviour for new Window.

Please try again with an up to date kde, thanks.

KDE 3 is no longer maintained. For KDE 4 see comment #4.
