Description Marc Schiffbauer 2012-01-16 17:35:00 UTC
Version:           unspecified (using Devel) 
OS:                Linux

The devicenotifier widget has some major glitches in the recent 4.8 RCs which are regressions compared to 4.7.

It would be nice if this could be addressed before 4.8. final release, thanks.


Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
Click on the device manager with some devices in it, I have 8 NFS devices here.
Hover the mouse over the listed entries, play with it: e.g. Mount some devices
then unmount them.


Actual Results:  
Its very hard to mount/unmount devices because the space that each entry
consumes is changing as soon as the mouse pointer is over it, which make the
whole list extremely bumpy und jumpy.

The last item in the list is worst: its not completely unusable.


Expected Results:  
Items should not change their height while hovering the ouse over it. Please either resever enough space so that one additional line can be shown or wait until item is cliked.

Bug still present in 4.8.1
Comment 2 Marc Schiffbauer 2012-04-22 08:00:26 UTC
Bug still present in 4.8.2+ and very annoying
Comment 3 Janek Bevendorff 2012-06-07 22:18:59 UTC
Still jumpy in 4.8.80 due to free space shown on mounted devices only.
A possible fix would be the reserve the space or implement #223687.

This really annoying regression is still present in current KDE/4.9 branch

Reserve space for text and free space bar

Reserve the height for the text and the
free space bar while invisible, to avoid jumpyness
