Description Unknown 2009-04-20 21:03:09 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.2.2)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

Since this widget is shared throughout KDE, I did not know against which component to report the problem.

I would like to see a functionality brought back which was in KDE3 (or maybe even in Qt3, I don't know): When I change the size of a column in a table view (like the KRunner task manager), currently the column to the right of the slider I am moving changes its size, too. So for example if I want to change the width of the "CPU" column in the task manager but leave all other columns the same size, that is hard to achieve as I can not change this column's size without changing the column to the right, too. I have to start at the left of the table and then adapt all columns from left to right, and when I make a mistake or want to change it later on, I have to start from scratch.

I just noticed that exactly this functionality is already present in Dolphin. Perhaps the same code can be used for all tables?

The default behaviour on column views is to resize only the resized column, not the others.

I've just checked the system monitor and other software.

When I move the handle between the "CPU" and "memory" column in system view to the right, the CPU column is increased in size while at the same time, the memory column is decreased in size. This is with KDE 4.2.4 on Kubuntu 9.04.

I'm sorry if changing the status is not what I should do, but I hoped to provide the requested information in the last comment.

This is a video of the current behaviour in trunk (and Qt 4.5.2). Is what you want?

Yes, it is - thank you very much :)
