Description Ivan Kozik 2002-09-28 04:34:15 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
OS:          Linux

It would be nice to have mozilla-like tab behavior where tabs are dynamically resized so that when lots of tabs are open no arrows on the right to switch between the tabs are neccessary.

Currently the width of tabs always depends on the title, maximal 30 letters are shown 
before the title is cut (I'm using ArkLinux alpha 7 which includes KDE pre-3.1.1). I'd 
prefer to at least be able to set my own amount of allowed letters in tabs if a dynamical 
resize is not possible in near future.

I completely agree. This is one feature my mother desperately wants. She gets
confused about where she is logged in.

I have produce a very rough patch that at least eases this bug somewhat for me. It just 
reduces the number of characters put into the patch from 30 down to 2 based on the 
number of tabs. It does no real calculation of the available space, I just assume that 
normally 90 characters fit into the tab-title-bar, so it will still exceed the available size if 
you have a small window and will cut off tab-titles earlier if your screen is big. 
 
I think the real solution for this bug needs to change the implementation of QTabWidget 
in the qt-library where all necessary information about the width of the tab-titles is  
available...

It's not a bug and your patch doesn't look good: It doesn't add "...", assumes 
a specific width (I have a wide-screen display, why shouldn't I allowed to use 
all of its width? :), doesn't restore the original length if more space is 
again available. Not talking about an unnecessary line and an unnecessary 
conditional. And please send your patches against HEAD. I think a real solution 
is possible without changing QTab*.

Implemented in HEAD for KDE 3.2.
Comment 9 Alex Radu 2003-05-31 00:25:28 UTC 
I hope, as it satands this patch isn't satisfactory, but tis a good start. It
should have resizing like Mozilla's 1.4 RC 1 though.
Comment 10 Stephan Binner 2003-05-31 10:15:51 UTC 
I didn't commit this patch but my own implementation which behaves exactly like 
Mozilla's as far I can see.
