Description Simon ESNEAULT 2010-10-20 10:36:36 UTC

Version:           4.5 (using KDE 4.5.2) 
OS:                Linux

Some KDE app close their tab on middle click (dolphin, kdevelop, etc ) while some others doesn't (konsole, konqueror, kopete, akregator)

Thx to some web browser (firefox, chrome, etc) this behavior (close on middle click) tend to be a default these days. Shouldn't all kde app using KTabBar make use of this ? IHMO this should be a default right in kdelib, by connecting the signal : mouseMiddleClick(int index) to the signal closeRequest(int) or something like that.

Also tab that adapt their width to the tab title is a non sense. All tab should have the same width, and make use of elided text when there isn't enough room for the whole title (it should then appears in a tooltip instead). Google Chrome is a very good example of an app with a good tab browsing/navigating.

Thx for everyone's job on kde !

-Simon
