Description Kevin Colyer 2010-02-16 00:22:44 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.4.0)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

I have the plasma web browser in a hiding panel to the top right of my screen. I like to click it and pop up a web page and hide it again for Google tasks etc.

The default size of the web browser is too small. This happens every log in (it does not remember it's window size.) This is not the difficult part although it would be nice to save window geometry.

The problem is in resizing. The sizing corner is in the lower right. With a web browser at the right edge of the screen you can not expand the width of the web browser as you are constricted by the screen edge. 

In 4.3 this was a problem but the sizing edge flipped at to the other size in a silent yet useful-ish manner. (Similar genre of problem if panel is vertically mounted)

The solution is to allow both corners of the web browser to resize the plasma window thing. PLEASE can this be looked into! 

Screenshot to be attached

To get the panel this wide I had to click and drag about 5 or 6 time from the bottom-right of the panel to the right edge of the screen. I naturally would have clicked bottom left and dragged.

allow controlling the resize a bit more

this allows e.g. popupapplet to put constraints on where the edges of the window can resize to
and react differently when the user is actively resizing the dialog.

allow resizing from both relevant corners of a popup dialog

also significantly cleans up the popup positioning code and fixes a
lurking bug where width() was used instead of height()
