Description Martin Benda 2006-08-04 22:47:39 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.4)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
Compiler:          GCC 3.4.6 
OS:                Linux

External taskbar which is aligned left or right does not size properly when the "Expand as required to fit contents" option is checked. The taskbar has always maximal vertical size across the whole screen - regardless on the content of the taskbar.

It worked properly in KDE 3.5.3.

I've tracked the bug down to TaskBar::sizeHint(...) method in kicker/taskbar/taskbar.cpp - in the case of left and right alignment the height is properly computed (variable actualMax), but maxSize.height() is returned.

Comment 2 Martin Benda 2006-08-04 23:08:30 UTC 
The lines lines 178-181 in taskbar.cpp aren't clear to me neither:
...
    if (containerCount() == 0)
    {
        actualMax = maxSize.height();
    }
...
When the taskbar is empty it will stretch to the full size - is this the correct behavior?
