Description Artur 2012-03-07 16:36:24 UTC

On notebook preferencies window has height higher than 600pixels and cannot be changed to smaler size. As a result lower part of window is overscreen, invisible and ok, cancel buttons cannot be pressed with mouse, other things in this are of window cannot be changed.
This window should not exced size ~550pixels, becouse of desktop toolbar or at lease should be scrollable.

I mean netbook not notebook, 
Common screen size on most netbooks is 1024x600

Comment 2 Andreas Pakulat 2012-03-07 16:55:28 UTC

I cannot reproduce this here, the window is 591 pixel in height and kdevelop has no full control over the height anyway its dictated by the largest configuration module shown and cannot be made smaller.

Comment 3 Andreas Pakulat 2012-03-07 16:56:33 UTC

netbook is not really a suitable form factor for development anyway - IMHO. At least not when wanting a full blown IDE at the same time.

Comment 4 Andreas Pakulat 2012-03-07 17:00:17 UTC

PS: Of course the size of the widget also depends on the GUI style you picked for KDE and your fonts. So changing any of that should help with your problem too.

The only way to make it even smaller in height would be splitting up the "Language Support" page, maybe in "Code Completion", "Language Support" (for the parsing-stuff) and "Semantic Highlighting". At least thats three group-boxes in the page itself right now.

Working on netbook suits my needs in bus, train etc, is much more comfortable than heavy notebook. It is great paltform for developing with KDevelop :-)

comfortable than heavy notebook. It is great paltform for developing
with KDevelop on real mobile platform :-)

would it be possible to put all the content inside of a scroll container that only use scroll bars, when they are needed?

Comment 9 Kevin Funk 2012-12-20 23:35:19 UTC

This is a lot better now. Marking as fixed.
