Description stompdagger1 2012-12-01 08:31:38 UTC

I'm using kdevelop on a 19' 4:3 lg screen running resolution of 1280x1024

for some reason kdevelop always resizes the window's width to above 1024 which results in screen overflow.

whenever I try to corrrect it it reverted to the same overflow width as before.

Reproducible: Always

Cannot reproduce, you probably have some special main window layout (with several tool views open, etc.).
Screenshot please?

my apologies it took so long, forgot about this, my screen resolution is 1280x1024

The problem is the huge list of tool views attached to the bottom bar. The main window cannot shrink below the width of that bar it seems. Remove some of them and the main window will start with a appropriate sizes.

Not sure if this may be declared as a bug. Leaving it open for now.

I've removed some views, let see if this reproduces.

maybe a proper solution is to limit the number of views depending on the screen resolution.

Comment 5 stompdagger1 2013-01-03 19:13:57 UTC

I wasn't able to reproduce it after removing views.

I still think this is a bug which should be addressed.

Comment 6 Mirojanosik 2015-05-07 20:38:45 UTC

Bug is still present, in my case KDevelop behaves fine while in 'code editing' mode, but when I switch to debugging of code (layout changes a little) then it starts changing size (width only) depending on situation, and its width can't be decreased below ~1300px. 

I know I have many tabs on bottom of the screen, that is right (Code view, Search in files, Run, Debug, Build, Breakpoints, Stack trace) but all of them are hidden/minimized, so why do they want to take space? Also, why should tab subwindow not obey app window size? Removing some tabs solves the issue on my PC too.

My system:
HW: Two monitors, left 1280x1024, right 1024x768, KDevelop running on left one.
KDevelop: 4.7.1, Platform 4.14.6
OS: XUbuntu 15.04
