Description JohnRCox@comcast.net 2011-11-06 21:41:56 UTC

Version:           2.7.3 (using KDE 4.7.3) 
OS:                Linux

konsole is running in an 80x40 window on a dual monitor system. The window is dragged from one monitor to the other. When the mouse is released, the number of lines showing in the konsole window is increased so that the window covers the entire vertical part of the monitor. It is like a test for determining whether the new destination is too small for konsole is being tested incorrectly.

The test is entirely repeatable.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Set konsole window to something that fits comfortably on either monitor of a dual monitor system.

Drag the konsole window to the other monitor with the mouse. Release the mouse button. 

Actual Results:  
The window expands to fill the new monitor vertically.

Expected Results:  
The window should be displayed with the same number of lines as it had in the first monitor.

OS: Linux (x86_64) release 3.1.0-gentoo
Compiler: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc

Bug 291809 seems to be talking about the same issue, and according to reporter of that report, the problem is gone in KDE SC 4.8. Could you check it using KDE SC 4.8?

I haven't seen the problem with KDE 4.8. Thanks for your work.
