Version: 4.2.2 (KDE 4.2.2) (using 4.2.3 (KDE 4.2.3), Kubuntu packages) Compiler: cc OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.28-11-generic When I open up an URL with Konqueror there is no status bar. When I open up a new tab, I can see the status bar. The next one hides the status bar again and so on... Seems like an even/odd problem somewhere.. Thanks for fixing this sometime :)
Can't reproduce... but it sure sounds related to a certain weird multitab restore bug.
Confirmed here with KDE 4.2.4 on Arch Linux (kdebase package version 4.2.4-1, architecture x86_64). Here is a way that reliably triggers the bug for me: 1) In Konqueror's configuration dialog, in the "General" page, set the "When Konqueror starts:" option to "Show Introduction Page". 2) Start Konqueror. There will be no status bar present. 3) Open a new blank tab (press Ctrl+Shift+N). There will now be a status bar at the bottom of the window. 4) Type a URL into the URL bar and press enter. The status bar will remain present. 5) Switch back to the first tab (the one that contains the introduction page). The status bar will disappear. 6) Switch back to the second tab. The status bar will remain missing. Incidentally, I found that using the action "Duplicate Tab" (Ctrl+Shift+D) will make the status bar reappear.
This could also be related to bug 169124 / bug 158900. Can you check them ? THanks
I can confirm this. I noticed it somewhere in kde 4.2 and its still present in 4.3.1. And it doesn't go away when deleting konquerors config.
For some reason, this problem stopped happening for me a few days ago. I had gone to a web page with an embedded audio stream ( http://phrockblog.blogspot.com/2009/05/creation-how-does-it-feel-to-feel-1968.html ), which began playing automatically. I then tried to close the tab containing the page, and Konqueror hung. I ran "killall konqueror", then restarted Konqueror, and answered "do not restore" to the "restore tabs?" question. Once I'd done that, the problem of the missing status bar no longer would occur. This all happened with Konqueror 4.3.1.
I had this prob after adding and resizing a terminal-emulation in konq. A fix to readd statusbar is: load multitab-browsing profile remove all tabs save as "webbrowsing"-profile seems to work for me...
I just stumble upon this problem for the second time in a few weeks. First, this is a workaround that is somewhat quicker and potentially less destructive (regarding other config settings) than the solution proposed by Ralph. Edit ~/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/webbrowsing, remove the line StatusBar=Disabled if present and add a line with View0_ShowStatusBar=true This solution can be found in numerous places on the web. As far as I can tell this problem happens after konqueror crashed due to some embedded object or faulty javascript. That's how it came back last night anyway and I am pretty sure that I had not manually disabled the status bar since I precisely applied the above workaround this summer after the problem appeared for the first time (but I did not notice why/how then). So I strongly suspect that here konqueror might be sensible to some script asking to hide the status bar and then crashing the app and this setting being saved yet. Just my 2 cents. phep
I forgot to say that just turning the line StatusBar=Disabled to StatusBar=Enabled as suggested by Gene Smith in bug 193072 doesn't worked here.
Yep, fixed for 4.3.3. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 193072 ***
