Version: (using KDE KDE 3.3.1) Installed from: SuSE RPMs Steps to reproduce: 1. right click on a mail folder 2. Properties 3. General 4. check Folder Icons->Use custom icons 5. click Normal icon button 6. Browse... 7. Navigate through your file system to find and select any non-square graphic file (i.e., a graphic with dimensions w×h, where w != h) 8. Open Observed behaviour: The icon shown is now scaled to 16×16, resulting in an ugly, stretched appearance. Expected behaviour: If w > h, the icon should have been scaled to 16×(16h/w) and vertically centered. If h > w, the icon should have been scaled to (16w/h)×16 and horizontally centered.
This seems to be fixed in KDE4 (testing with kmail from trunk r860647).
works for me also in trunk.
