Version: 3.0 (using 4.1.3 (KDE 4.1.3), Kubuntu packages) Compiler: cc OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.27-9-generic The window gets too large when displaying all channels. And there is no Window bar for scrolling. Resizing of the window is impossible. greetings karl
There is another wish like this, and when I heppen to find it again, I'll mark this as dup. For now I'll change this bug report to the wishlist. As a workaround, you can move the window, or even better. Hide some controls: Displaying all controls is unnecessary nearly in all use cases.
Problem persists in KDE 4.2.2. Some sort of scrolling mechanism would be nice. At certain font sizes kmix is hard to use. Even alsamixer do a better job in presenting you a large amount of sliders.
Sure it persists. Nothing has changed, because I am seeing this as a purely theoretical issue. Or do you actually need all those sliders?
bug #204918 suggest to have two rows of sliders.

I am unable to reproduce this in 4.6.2, is this problem still valid? (I noticed that there has been some work on KMix).
yes, the bug is reproducible: if you have a small resolution screen (1024x768) and a lot of channels (example: 15 channels) the window is larger than the screen
I evaluated it, and do not plan to add a scroll bar [1]. There are plenty of workarounds like: - Show only required controls - Move the window instead of a scrollbar - Add more Tabs (playback, capture), and divide the controls between the tabs (so each tab has less controls) - Use Pulseaudio, then you have much less controls [1] I evaluated it, and adding a scroll bar leads to other problems. For example, it is not clear whether I am allowed to resize the window myself at all, e.g. when a new card is plugged in, configuring the view, rebuilding the GUI or when application streams appear. Also Multihead display configurations (with different resolutions) can lead to trouble.
