Created attachment 78016 [details] screen shot of the bug Simply look at the screen shot and you know what i mean.
Aurelien, the issue also exists in Kate. I'm note 100% sure whether this is a Kate or a KMessageWidget issue. Steps to reproduce: 1. open an existing file in Kate 2. type in terminal: kate asdf As result, the existing Kate opens 'asdf', which does not exist. Hence, a message widget is immediately shown, before the view was shown the first time. Therefore, the sizes are wrong. Can you reproduce? With GammaRay (http://www.kdab.com/kdab-products/gammaray/) I can see that the size of the QFrame of the KMessageWidget is correct. However, the minimum height of KMessageWidget is far too high and thus wrong. So I think this is a KMessageWidget issue.
Aurelien, do you plan to look into this? Otherwise we'll have to find a workaround.

I'm sorry for the delays in fixing this. It's fixed for KDE >= 4.11.2. This fix cannot easily be backported to KDE 4.10.
