Description Cristi 2008-06-25 23:37:22 UTC
Version:           1.0.99 (using 4.00.84 (KDE 4.0.84 (KDE 4.1 >= 20080625), Gentoo)
Compiler:          x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.25-gentoo-r4

Due to some recent kopete bugs, I've reverted to pidgin, but every time I get a message the pager panel and the system tray do nuts: they start to quickly resize from one dimension to another(it varies just between 2 sizes) and it doesn't stop until I close the conversation window. I wish I could be more descriptive...

Also noted: this happens also when I open xchat, and goes on and on. But is stops if I click it's little icon and make the item in task manager dissapear
Comment 2 Cristi 2008-06-26 08:00:01 UTC
same with sonata(also a gtk program) and also the resize-ing stops when it's not present in task manager and only in System Tray widget
Comment 3 Marco Martin 2008-06-26 09:54:46 UTC
the layout of the applets in the panel is the default? the size of the panel?
does this happens regardless on how many tasks are open?
Comment 4 Cristi 2008-06-27 08:58:46 UTC
the layout is the default one. The size is about 80% of screen's width. As a matter of fact no...it happens only if the taskbar is full. If I open either pidgin or xchat on a desktop with no items in taskbar everything is ok. Furthermore after that I can bring that program to a desktop with a full taskbar and everything is ok

SVN commit 825224 by mart:

don't allow the pager to be automatically resized in the panel, it could
drive to infinite auto resizing loops
also don't use hardcoded measures but taken from KIconLoader

BUG: 164972


 M  +14 -3     pager.cpp
