Version: (using KDE 4.3.0) Installed from: SuSE RPMs To reproduce: 1. Open an application that embeds katepart. 2. Press "Ctrl-G", the "Go to line" dialog appears. 3. Press "Ctrl-R", the "Find and replace" dialog appears. 4. Press "Ctrl-G", the "Go to line" dialog appears again, but it's too big.
At first I thought you meant the text edit, but I see it is the whole bar area. I noticed that Find seems to have special code to deal with this (Ctrl-R, Ctrl-F, the bar is momentarily taller with the widgets for 'Find...' shown, and then resizes itself), maybe that's simply missing for 'Go to line...'? Anyway, confirming: reproducible in at least trunk. On a related note, I do notice that the text edit starts out at what is apparently a default size, but shrinks to be only big enough for the largest possible value after some showing/hiding of the 'Go to line...' bar. Not sure if that's related.
The reason for this is: We use a QStackedWidget, which always has the height of the widget with maximum height. If the replace-bar exists, this the maximum height is very large. I've tried to always use the preferred height of the widget that is visible. But that's also not what we want, because the height of the goto-bar, the search-bar and the command-line differs in 1-3 pixels. So what we then get is a very jumpily behavior then. A (probably good) workaround is to remove the replace-viewbar from the viewbar-container once it's hidden. Then the height would be defined by one of the single-line-viewbars. Any volunteers? :)
