Description ziklag01 2007-02-05 14:17:17 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.4)
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs
OS:                Linux

Thanks to being blessed to have learnt about BeOS and to run BeOS on another computer,  I use the BeOS title bar option (BII Window Decoration).  My problem  is that the title bars do not stay locked in place.

One time the menu is on the left hand of the application window.
I load another web page for example, and then the title bar
moves to the right hand side.  There is a seemingly random dynamic
that occurs amoung the many applications which are running; this
dynamic causes the menu bars to overlap eachother and flip-flop
locations.   Such behaviour almost totally negates the advantage
of using the BeOS like menubars (the advantage is having several
applications open at once and maximized and easily accessed.)
My recommendation is that the menu bars be LOCKED into place according
to where the person moved them (by holding down shift while using
mouse to move title bar tab along top of application).  Thank you.

The current behaviour is meant to be a feature. The bars are moved around to try to make them visible, so that you can access the bars when needed.

Then please allow a way to turn this "feature" off because, in my humble 
opinion, this behavior is, well, I cannot find a polite word to express
how I feal about this "feature".


Thanks.

It looks that this descoration is broken on KDE4.

P.S: Moreover the automatic title movement doesn't work. Probably the decoration porting from KDE 3 to KDE 4 has not been completed :-(

BII is no longer provided, thus I'm adjusting the bug report to WONTFIX.
