Description Cyrill Helg 2008-12-30 14:39:54 UTC 
Version:           3.1.86 (using 4.1.86 (KDE 4.1.86 (KDE 4.2 >= 20081221)), Gentoo)
Compiler:          i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.28-rc9-zen1-IBM-T43

Why is this appearing list so long all the time? It should only be long as needed I think.

See screenshot.

I guess it is this code in katecompletionwidget.cpp.

  if( baseHeight < 300 ) {
    baseHeight = 300; //Here we enforce a minimum desirable height
    m_expandingAddedHeight = 0;
//     kDebug( 13035 ) << "Resetting baseHeight and m_expandingAddedHeight";
  }

Svn blame says it is from zwabel, I guess it is for kdevelop's expanding trees. I'm adding him to the CC list.

Looks easy to change :)
Comment 4 David Nolden 2009-01-02 14:25:51 UTC 
Feel free to reduce to to 80 or something like that.

Else I will probably do it within the next days(I'm sick atm).

I've tried it, and this is not the right place for the fix.

The completion-list currently does not adapt its height to the content.
