Description Shift 2004-01-24 08:52:18 UTC 
Version:           0.8.0 (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.2 (Mandrake Linux 10.0 3.3.2-4mdk)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.4.23-0.1mdk

In the chat window, the Format > Font submenu is too big well lots of fonts are installed.
In my linux box I have more than 200 fonts so this menu  take 4 rows in the screen so I can only see this menu. I have to select a font or press ESC to close it.

Perhaps this bug will be link to the bug number #54716 http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54716 where I propose some other menu implementations.

Thanks,

Franck

Sorry to close this bug but we cannot really do anything about this in Kopete itself, it has to be fixed/changed in either KDE or QT. I know I've seen arrow QPopupMenus some time ago so they're definetely there, I just don't know why this is not an option.
I fully agree with you that the current multicolumn approach is a bad idea (actually I think it shouldn't be used at all, it just looks unnatural compared to normal popupmenus).
Maybe we should all vote for the bug you linked here :)

It shouldn't be a submenu in the first place, it should be a Format -> Font... entry that opens a font selector dialog instead.

That would mean it couldn't be a KFontAction anymore and couldn't plug 
into the toolbar when in RTF mode,
as is currently.

I agree with Stefan.

It is not a Kopete bug (even if I am the author ;)
Now that I know that KAction is used, I think this bu is a KDE one. So the "bug" #54716 must be fixed first.
Comment 5 Martijn Klingens 2004-01-25 13:37:19 UTC 
Hmm, I didn't realize you were using KFontAction.

That would make it a kdelibs bug instead. Reassigning.

If a certain amount of fonts is reached it could change to a KFontDialog.
Comment 7 lexual 2010-01-23 11:04:44 UTC 
Is this still relevant to recent KDE version?
If not please close the bug.

Thanks,

Lex.
