Version: (using KDE KDE 3.3.1) Installed from: Compiled From Sources Compiler: gcc version 3.3.4 (Debian 1:3.3.4-13) OS: Linux Problem The konqueror window resizes when a different tab is selected or a new tab is opened. To reproduce: Load konqueror Resize window Press Ctrl-Shift-N (open new tab) Observe window returns to original size New since KDE 3.3.1
Cannot reproduce. Do you have a kwin policy window size set?
Not intentionally. How do I find out? I'm actually running KDE_3_3_BRANCH from Wednesday afternoon, rather than the 3.3.1 release. I've just kicked off a build of the actual 3.3.1 release
Alt+F3/Configure , the Window-specific settings tab - check if you have any entry related to Konqueror. Although I doubt that'd be it. I suggest you try with a fresh KDE setup and provide exact steps how to reproduce the problem.
There are no window-specific settings. I found some configuration weirdness in .kde/share/config/konquerorrc The following 5 lines cause the reported behaviour: [KonqMainWindow] ClassName=KonqMainWindow Height 768=613 ObjectName=konqueror-mainwindow#2 Width 1024=871 I don't know how they got there, whether they should be there, or whether they should cause the weird resizing behaviour.
well, I've seen this behaviour on the KDE 3.3.0 livecd from Kano (kanotix.de). its very annoying. but at home (also debian & kde 3.3.0) I never saw it. so its likely that its a bug in a config file (which didnt change at home, here, but are new on the livecd).
The same happens for me. I am using Gentoo/fluxbox I just updated from 3.2.3 to 3.3.1 and this problem arise. I have set tabbed browsing. Behavior: start konqueror (BTW: it ignores --geometry) open some tabs change size go to another tab size is back to initial Maximize go to another tab size is back to initial click on maximize on window - nothing happened, click again window maximizes. (apparently it missed, that konqueror resized itself from maximized state)
Look also on the (Bug 91577) about the --geometry problem
Gilhad, do you see the same thing as me: http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=91278#c4
No, I do hot have such setting. /home/gilhad/.kde/share/config/konquerorrc has only this with word KonqMainWindow in it [KonqMainWindow Toolbar bookmarkToolBar] Hidden=true IconText=IconTextRight Index=3 [KonqMainWindow Toolbar extraToolBar] IconText=IconTextBottom Index=0 [KonqMainWindow Toolbar locationToolBar] IconText=IconOnly Index=2 [KonqMainWindow Toolbar mainToolBar] Index=1 and nothing like window size anywhere in this file
works for me on 3.5.2
I also can't reproduce for 3.5.2
closing, If this is still an issue for anyone, please let KDE know.
