Description András Manţia 2008-01-10 22:27:13 UTC
Version:            (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

Start Konqueror, start another instance. In the second one use Settings->Configure Konqueror. You will get the "This configuration section is already opened in Konqueror" for every page, although the other Konqueror instance doesn't have any config page open.

Correction, you get the error for:
General
Web Browsing
AdBlocK Filters

I cannot even find from where that message comes from. :-0

I've got this error on the first opened istance of.

1) start konqueror (call it A)
2) start the second (call it B)
3) on B I've opened the config dialog
4) on A I've opened the config dialog too and I've got the "This configuration section is already opened in Konqueror" error in ALL the section of the dialog.

Still present in trunk (sv rev. 815196)

The only way I can see of fixing this --- blow away the dialog when it's closed
or hidden. Doesn't seem like there is a way to nicely ask the plugins to
unlock.

Cleanup the configure dialog when the user is done with it
to avoid locking the modules and making it unusable 
in other instances
