Description Janet 2010-03-23 20:34:06 UTC
Version:           1.90.0 (using 4.3.4 (KDE 4.3.4), Debian packages)
Compiler:          cc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.33-1.slh.3-sidux-686

The bottom pane of k3b with the action's buttons isn't shrinkable. It occupies a lot of unnecessary space and doesn't leave enough for the files pane above where only 2-3 rows are shown. 

Expected behaviour is to be able to shink the height of the welcome pane to even a size where it only shows one button row (and if needed a scrollbar). At least it should be possible to shrink it tight fit to the buttons.

It isn't even possible to shrink the height of the k3b window because of this below a height of 871 pixel.

Hi, thanks for the report. Could you attach a screenshot?

window height shouldn't depend on welcome pane height, welcome pane should be  resizable without minimum size to leave enough room for the tracks/file list and to adapt to small screens (screen heights of 800 and under that are still common for notebooks).

This sounds like it's the same problem as mine (another manifestation).

I'm trying to burn a CD, and I can't check what's in the "Current Projects" window to make sure I'm burning the right stuff. My project window showing the files on my hard drive is occupying almost all the available vertical space, and it WILL NOT STAY SHRUNK!

I can move the divider up, making the project window larger, but as soon as my mouse moves back into the project window, the explorer window bounces back and my project window is tiny again.

Another comment mentioned netbooks etc - I'm using a widescreen TV as my computer screen, and that doesn't have a particularly good vertical resolution, either.

Basically, NO pane should have a minimum size that pinches most of the screen.

Cheers,
Wol

SVN commit 1113733 by mmalek:

Fixed minimum size of welcome widget.
The minimum height is now computed using current width of the widget each time repositionButtons() is called.

Thanks :). Is it targeted for 4.5? Just to complete. I never realized before that there is a field for "Version Fixed In:" in the header of the bug reports...
Comment 6 Michał Małek 2010-05-11 13:29:51 UTC
I didn't realize it either :) K3b release cycle is independent from KDE so this fix will be included in next version (1.92.0 and finally in 2.0). It will be soon, hopefully :)
