Description Wolf Giesen 2006-06-01 10:29:42 UTC

Version:           0.19 SVN (has been in older versions, too) (using KDE KDE 3.5.2)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
Compiler:          gcc-3.4.6 (x86) -O2 -march=pantium4
OS:                Linux

Minimal windows size changes after initial startup (which is quite annoying to me). This has been a long-time bug.

To reproduce:

1. Start konvi (with autoconnect/join to some server)
2. Minimize the window to smallest possible height
3. Get _every_ tab in the foreground at least once
4. Minimize the height again

You'll see that you can now make the window smaller.

Additional:

5. Make a new "window behaviour" rule for konvi and force it to the new minimum size you just attained in #4.
6. Quit and restart konvi

You'll now have an initial window that has the right size, but only shows very small parts of the channel/server tabs (in my case at least, since I have them on the bottom).

Since I "need" (don't ask .-) my window about the smallest possible height, I have been using the method from #5, and it's quite annoying; startup the App and hothey through all your tabs just to have the window right :-)

Any chance?

Comment 3 Ivo 2006-11-06 14:54:00 UTC

I can confirm the first part but not the second, in version 1.0.1 on Kubuntu 6.10

Comment 4 Wolf Giesen 2006-11-06 14:55:36 UTC

Second part meaning the behaviour depicted in the screenshot? What did you try?

 * Fixed a bug causing a crash when sending '/privmsg' without any pa-
   rameters (did not apply to '/msg').
+* In previous versions, channel tabs opened in the background (i.e.
+  while "Focus new tabs" is disabled, as it is by default) would con-
+  siderably increase the minimum width of the window due to particu-
+  larities of the Qt layout system. After raising every channel tab
+  at least once it would then be possible to make the window much
+  narrower. This unintuitive behavior resulted in confusion as to why
+  the minimum width of the Konversation window would sometimes vary
+  greatly. This has been fixed in this version, i.e. it is no longer
+  necessary to have raised every channel tab at least once to achieve
+  a reasonable minimum width of the window. This also means that
+  joining a new channel is now much less likely to resize the window.
