Version: 4.12 (using KDE 4.1.2) OS: Linux Installed from: Ubuntu Packages Using the "Ctrl + +" and "Ctrl + -" hotkeys to change the font size sometimes does not work. No error message is given. I have verified that these are the correct hotkeys in my setup; in fact, they work perfectly on this (bug reporting) page. However, on other pages they fail to have any effect at all. It is difficult to give an example that reproduces reliably. Sometimes, if I reload the URL in a new instance of Konqueror the keys will work. For what it's worth, here is one such page that is giving problems: http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/6334 Note that using Enlarge Font or Shink Font items in the View menu has been an acceptable workaround on every page I've tried. The hotkeys shown on this menu are identical to the ones I have been trying, so it is not clear why one method works and the other does not.
I can confirm this with konqueror from trunk, although in my case, I do get a message. In this linuxjournal.com page, if you try to hit ctrl++ or ctrl+-, it pops up an information message saying that the shortcut is ambiguous and it doesn't do anything. However, it works with other pages, like here in bugzilla.
I think this shortcut-ambiguous message is a bug. cnt-F shouldn't be ambigouous. ;)
I also stumbled across this bug and had a look at http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/6334. On this page at least it seems that a minimal testcase can be boiled down to: <body> <script src="http://digg.com/tools/diggthis.js" type="text/javascript"></script> </body> So could it be a problem with somewhat embedded java script?
This is actually triggered by the iframe created by the digg script, here's the real minimal testcase: <body> <iframe src="http://www.kde.org/"></iframe> </body>
If there would at least be the chance to add two toolbar buttons to increase and decrease the font size for now, as it was possible with KDE 3.5. But maybe I just couldn't find an appropriate entry in the configure toolbar dialog.
> If there would at least be the chance to add two toolbar buttons to increase Just go to -> settings -> toolbars -> html toolbar (on my system, that toolbar moves around quite a bit. It is sometimes on the right site of the window, and other times it is much more to the left).
Cannot reproduce this using either one of the browser engines. Is this still an issue in the latest KDE releases, v4.6 and up ?
The problem seems to have vanished indeed. For now let's close the bug report and open a new one, when the problem is encountered again.
