Version: 1.9.9 (using 3.5.9, Kubuntu (gutsy) 4:3.5.9-0ubuntu1~gutsy1~ppa1) Compiler: Target: i486-linux-gnu OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.22-14-generic When I open KMail, the window's full screen size is the same as that of my screen (1280x1024). If I switch to KAddressBook to add or manipulate a contact, the new window is much wider than my LCD (probably around 1400x1024). Height is not affected. When swithing back to KMail the window size is kept as wide as it was in KAddressBook. This is very annoying.
If KAddressbook resizes Kontact, that's a bug in KAddressbook, not KMail. Reassigning to KAddressbook. Bug 155615 is probably related.
The development of the old KAddressBook will be discontinued for KDE 4.4. Since the new application has the same name, but a completly new code base we close all bug reports against the old version and ask the submitters to resend there reports against the new product.
