Version:            (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

settings dialog incorrect resizing: provide scrollbars 
 
 If the size is too small for the content show the scrollbars. Otherwise you get (ss).

NEEDINFO :-) I see this issue again and again so I started to wonder if this is per app issue, or it is rather kdelibs or something issue?

It seems that it happens only when the dialog is inside another window (tested with a lot of config dialogs).
Comment 3 Maciej Pilichowski 2008-06-21 12:10:31 UTC 
Ok, but should I continue looking for such dialogs in other apps and post reports, or this is just one, single common issue?
Comment 4 Allen Winter 2008-07-29 18:24:07 UTC 
Is this still and issue?
togge cleaned up a lot of the config dialogs recently.
Comment 5 Maciej Pilichowski 2008-07-29 19:20:53 UTC 
Yes it is.

Allen, should I report this issue per each app or it is kdelibs/kwin common issue?
Comment 6 Michael Leupold 2009-04-05 08:04:35 UTC 
Still reproducible on r948809. I agree that for big font sizes scrollbars should be added. This might be important for people with low vision.

Thank you for taking the time to file a bug report.

KMail2 was released in 2011, and the entire code base went through significant changes. We are currently in the process of porting to Qt5 and KF5. It is unlikely that these bugs are still valid in KMail2.

We welcome you to try out KMail 2 with the KDE 4.14 release and give your feedback.
