Description Jonathan Thomas 2009-03-10 21:50:23 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.2.1)
Compiler:          cc 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

When NetworkManager detects a new network it gets added to the plasmoid properly, but the plasmoid extender item gets partially hidden behind the panel. (I guess it expands down instead of up?)

network_widget_hidden_default

As it can be seen from the attachment,

1) The network management widget is not fully visible. Especially for
wireless networks, the portion which shows the list of available
networks is partially hidden.

Only after the 'Unlock Widgets' and manually adjusting the different
portions of the widget, I am able to get it to show my wireless network
!!

2) Also, it doesn't remember the position that I have selected and
always defaults to the partially hidden view (first attachment below)

3) One more problem is that, by default, it doesn't show the entire text
inside the widget (as you can see in the second attachment below). If I
try to expand it manually, I am able to get it to show the full font,
but it doesn't last as it doesn't remember the position/size - problem
(2) above

Could you please have a look into these issues?

Thanks a lot...

Sry abt the first & second attachments mentioned in the above comment. The above (only) attachment itself shows both the issues.
Comment 3 Sebastian Kügler 2009-04-13 23:57:02 UTC
Those are two different issues actually.

- the wireless network buttons sitting under your panel

This is a bug in Qt's QGraphicsLayouts that don't properly propagate updates in size (which happens when we dynamically add and remove those wireless networks that appear and disappear). It does get the size right if you collapse and expand the extender (by clicking on the topleft icon). I'm looking for a workaround for this problem. Ultimately, we need this fixed in Qt though.

- the text being clipped behind the strengh meter

That's something I've not really tested yet. I'm using way smaller fonts, so the text always easily fits into the horizontal space between the icon on the left edge and the meter on the right. I'll play around with larger font sizes a bit and improve it.


Thanks for the good bugreport!

We've completely changed the layout of this plasmoid to prevent this behaviour. It's fixed in the (unreleased) plasmoid).
