Description masinick 2009-09-03 18:02:25 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.3.0)
Compiler:          gcc version 4.3.4 (Debian 4.3.4-2) I cannot be certain that this is what my implementation was built from
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

On the Newbies Linux Forum, which uses a somewhat dated version of Beehive forum software, when I enter a forum post and submit it, the display of my post is condensed into very narrow text - under twenty characters wide.

Another rendering issue I have discovered with Konqueror 4.3.1 is that I can no longer select Google Mail messages - underlined links and selectable content cannot be selected.  I can't be positive that this defect wasn't also in 4.3; the display issue mentioned above WAS an issue and has been an issue throughout KDE 4 development.  I've tried to report it before; perhaps other defect numbers that I could not locate can be used for more information.

In general, Konqueror 4.3.1 seems to be a step back in stability and functionality even compared to 4.3; not sure why.

http://newbieslinux.com/forum/index.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=652.9373 contains a specific page that was initially rendered incorrectly.  Later when I revisit the site, it will render correctly.

To reproduce the issue, you create a new reply to this thread. While inputting text, it looks fine, but when first reviewing what you have just posted, it renders in a narrow band, no more than 10-20 characters wide.  Other Beehive based forums seem to exhibit the same behavior as well.  The Desktop Linux Reviews Forum exhibits similar behavior.

Dear Bug Submitter,

This bug has been stagnant for a long time. Could you help us out and re-test if the bug is valid in the latest version? I am setting the status to NEEDSINFO pending your response, please change the Status back to REPORTED when you respond.

Thank you for helping us make KDE software even better for everyone!

Checked out Beehive, Yahoo Mail, and Gmail; all seem to behave as expected.
I believe that this was the case some time ago; please close this defect.
Thanks!
