Created attachment 63502 [details] Screenshot showing the geometry issues of dolphin's information panel Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.7.0) OS: Linux When increasing the width of the information panel, two geometry issues show up. This also happens for KDE 4.7.1 which was not available yet for selection. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Issue#1 - Hover a file where the preview is just an icon (e.g. soundfile) - Increase the width of the information panel - Watch the size of the icon area Issue#2 - Hover a file with a very long filename - Increase the width of the information panel - Try to decrease the width of the information panel again (mouse needs to be released before doing this) Actual Results: Issue#1 - The height of the icon area grows proportionally to the width (which is ok for actual previews of images etc.) and wastes very much space which could be used for the textual information below Issue#2 - The width of the information panel cannot be decreased fully again. It is blocked by the length of the filename shown below the preview area. - This does only happen, when the mouse has been released after the width was increased. Expected Results: Issue#1 - The height of the preview area should only increase for actual shown content. Issue#2 - The information panel should be able to be resized back to its regular size, also when the filename in the preview area needs to be wrapped then. See the attached screenshot.
Thanks for the bug report! I can confirm both problems in master.

[Part of the Dolphin Bug Weeks 2012] Using Dolphin 2.1 from KDE SC 4.9.2 (Kubuntu Quantal package). I can fonfirm the first issue, but the second problem seems to have been fixed.
As was mentioned, the only remaining potential issue is that the preview increases in size vertically as well as horizontally. However this is expected; a larger preview is useful for virtually all file types, except audio. It would be weird to avoid increasing the size *only* for audio files.
