Bug 180220

Summary: Pasting large texts (300 KB, ~1000 Lines) and then calling the history renders the windows height useless, even if you select a one-liner history entry later on.

Description artnorm 2009-01-10 10:06:51 UTC
Version:           1.1 (Debian 1.1-1) (using 3.5.10, Debian Package 4:3.5.10.dfsg.1-1 (lenny/sid))
Compiler:          Target: i486-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.27-10.slh.1-sidux-686

1.) Create a larger text, e.g. a dmesg listing
2.) paste it in konversation
3.) use the cursor-up key to call the history
4.) konversation window size is adapted to the size of the history entry. this bugs the window size to a very large size the user is unable to undo.

this leads to the assumption that practical boundaries are not properly verified.

a fix is to maximaize the window. this will reduce the size to a sensemaking area (current desktop).

i do not know why konversation needs to extend the main window to display something like the history. an undocked window at a certain position which is removed later on could to the job as well without affecting the main window.

I can reproduce the change of the window size, but not the "unable to undo" part. Seems like a non-issue.
