Description Maciej Pilichowski 2006-10-29 09:06:09 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.5)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

I can change the font size, ok. But such feature as angle zoom would be useful -- for zooming in it would be similar to move towards the screen. There is no linear zooming per se, only angles are bigger. To achieve this zoom mode the font should be bigger, the images, well, all elements. But what is interesting (and which makes this feature so useful) also all elements with hardcoded values should be zoomed in -- for example tables. 

After such zoom the page not necessarily would fit the screen. However as an extra option Konqueror could offer focusing on the middle of the zoom and clipping empty areas out of the screen.

Also, "zoom the entire page like in Opera", a much requested feature.
Comment 2 Tommi Tervo 2007-04-28 12:57:15 UTC
This should be fixed, see
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42029
My kde4 build seems to be br0ken so I can not confirm now.
Comment 3 Maciej Pilichowski 2007-04-28 13:02:01 UTC
Daniel, my report is exactly "zoom like Opera" but using different words :-) plus/minus the hardcoded values (I can only say from my experience that the effect is like angle zoom in Opera, however I don't know how internally they solved problem with those values).
Comment 4 Maciej Pilichowski 2007-04-28 13:04:15 UTC
Tommi, the other report is only about images, there are however useful sites, for example, http://www.joelonsoftware.com/ where margins are hardcoded, without dealing with it, Konqueror cannot provide useful zoom -- try it out and ignore images. Just look at the layout of the text,

Here is a pre kde4 screenshot, there is zoomed window in foreground and normal
size of web page in background. Is that what you wanted?
Comment 6 Maciej Pilichowski 2007-04-29 11:25:00 UTC
Tommi, thanks for the screenshot, but I don't know since I don't see how margins change with each zoom (not much to see in the background).

But maybe I simply say this, referring to the Joel page as a testcase -- in Opera with _EACH_ zoom in/zoom out the margin widths are changed. In current Konqueror they only change in extreme zoom in -- so if in kde4 they change in _every_ step of zooming, then yes, this is what I wished for.
Comment 7 David Dempster 2008-12-18 10:17:39 UTC
I can confirm that the current Kubuntu Konqueror (whether running KHTML or Webkit) does not adequately deal with the way the margins on pages like http://www.joelonsoftware.com/ are written.  Opera and Firefox manage just fine.
