Version: 3.5.0 (using KDE KDE 3.5.8) Installed from: Fedora RPMs OS: Linux Using the simple hello world GUI for Kdevelop 3.5.0 using KDE 3.5.8.7.fc8 Fedora, files created and added to the project take up more tabs than the width of the screen. The right scroll button scrolls through them OK, but the left scroll button doesn't work properly. It has worked OK in previous versions. Now files that dropped off the screen have to be re-opened, rather than the left scroll button bringing them back into view. Likewise on opening a recent project, all files seem to be opened OK, but as the tab goes off the screen to the left, so the file disappears. The left scroll button has lost them, and the files have to be re-opened.
Works fine over here. Do the scrolling buttons in Konqueror still work fine? KDevelop doesn't provide that feature itself, its part of kdelibs or even Qt. So if its broken it should be broken in all KDE apps.
It is very strange. I loaded a different simple C project last night, and the bug was not there. The tabs scroll buttons worked perfectly. I therefore loaded the project on which the left button had not worked, and yet again the left scroll button was not working. I will do some more looking into it for you, to try to narrow down exactly when or why it happens and when it does not. I will do this tomorrow, and email you. Kind Regards John Bland
I have now established the circumstances under which I could not scroll left through the tabs. The project that scrolled OK, I noticed, had only half the leftmost tab exposed after loading. The project that would not scroll had a complete tab leftside. By chance, I narrowed the window width for the non-scrolling project and immediately full scrolling was enabled, allowing the off screen left tabs to be brought in. Why it would not, and still will not scroll at full window width is beyond me, but all I have to do now is narrow the window a fraction. Kind Regards John Bland
Hmm, yeah this really sounds like a kdelibs bug. Re-Assigning.
So far, I have established that: If I save the non scrolling project by closing kdevelop with kdevelop set to a narrower window, then the project loads and scrolls OK into that narrower window. If I save but with kdevelop in full screen mode, then it loads and scrolls OK. If I drag the window from some narrow screen width to full screen width, then at some as yet unestablished critical point, it stops scrolling. Unfortunately, I am still unable to predict the conditions under which it will not scroll. Perhaps you could give me a couple of days, and I will do some more experiments. Kind regards John Bland
Is this bug still reproducible with the KDE 4 version of KDevelop? It sounds like a Qt bug if I understand the issue correctly, because neither KTabWidget nor KTabBar interfere with Qt's handling of Tab scrolling.
