Description Luis Román Gutiérrez 2008-06-17 15:48:45 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.0.80)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
OS:                Linux

I suppose the intended position of textboxes' clear button is to be centered vertically, but there are places where the button shows displaced downwards. I suppose is has to do with the textbox being shorter than expected.

Shows the displaced clear buttons

This screenshot shows the clear button in systemsettings and kopete's search
bar being displaced.

clearbutton is part of kdelibs, and is not a style thing - reassigning
Comment 3 Dario Andres 2008-07-31 00:58:06 UTC 
Using KDE 4.1.00 (KDE 4.1.0) (KDEmod) in ArchLinux i686:

In SystemSettings I see the clear button a bit misplaced to the bottom. (see screenshot)
In Dolphin it's totally centered.
In Kopete the clear button is positioned like in SystemSetting

Can you test with 4.1 ?

It still happens with 4.1 :(
Comment 6 Dario Andres 2008-12-26 14:49:10 UTC 
Can you still reproduce this bug with a recent KDE version? (4.1.3 / 4.2beta2 / 4.2svn) ?  Thanks :)

Yeah, it still happen with the kubuntu 4.2 beta packages.

@Luis: have you tried to use another font style or size ? Is the "clear button" in KDE4.2 like in the screenshot in comment 4 or the one in your comment 1. ?
Thanks :)

Well I'been making some tests, and it seems to happen more strongly in the kopete contact filter textbox than in other textboxes and it happen more strongly when using Liberation Sans than using other fonts, at the same sizes.

With Liberation Sans is like in the screenshot I submited, and when using other fonts is like in the one attached to comment 4.

KLineEdit uses the full widget rect to center the clearButton. It should use the styles' contentRect.
Comment 11 Christoph Feck 2015-04-12 06:57:11 UTC 
The button rendering is implemented in Qt5, and won't fixed in kdelibs4.
