Description Germain Garand 2008-01-03 16:58:51 UTC

Version:           4.0 (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

In systemsettings > Appearance > Fonts, I can trigger an infinite loop by doing _either_ of the following:

 a - click "Choose..." on any font entry, then resize the font chooser dialog that pops up.

or

 b - click "Choose..." for the General font, select size 12 on standard Sans Serif, click OK. Restart systemsettings, go back to the font module, click "Choose..." for any font.

This last one is very serious as there is no way then to revert back to another font size other than editing kdeglobals by hand.

Can someone reproduce that bug? 
If yes, I could commit a quick workaround before tagging.

SVN commit 756980 by ggarand:

I experience infinite loops when resizing the font choser dialog, or
when chosing some font sizes, which sometimes makes impossible to change
any font at all anymore without manual edit of kdeglobals. Not good.
=> limit this endless loop.

Shouldn't this bug be closed ? (I can't reproduce it in KDE4.1.3, and it seems to be fixed a long time ago)

Comment 3 Dario Andres 2008-12-25 16:57:05 UTC

Marking as WORKSFORME. If this is still an issue in a recent KDE version, please re-open with new information.
