ls options, not visible

Version:           unspecified (using Devel) 
OS:                Linux

KRunner's new fixed size for result list is too small, displaying only one result at a time. If, for example, the command runner returns a result, it is difficult to use with the expanded options view. See screenshot

Reproducible: Always
Comment 1 David Palacio 2010-06-23 01:38:47 UTC
I figured out what is happening:
krunner is set to be: free window (not on top).

With that setting it can not be resized, unlike in screen top mode ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LagzshqS6ms ).

When it is resized in top mode, it adopts the same size in free mode.

If the set size is too big, the window will resize itself to what looks like a smaller hardcoded maximum size.

True, you can go through the "top edge of screen" mode to resize the krunner results screen for the "free floating window" mode.
But this is still a usability bug, IMHO, because there should be a way to resize without switching modes. I only found this solution through experimenting, which really shouldn't be necessary.
