We have 6 comboboxes which are all too big. This needs a serious design concept, we can't just replace them all with lists + filters, because people don't have 6000px height displays. Agreed, it won't be a simple "replace selectboxes with list boxes". Maybe the widget you created for timezone selection in Plasma Active (or a slightly modified version thereof) would be useful here? The HIG I wrote for it precisely matches our situation: "The Selection Dialog is used when users have to select one element out of a number of items that would not fit into the drop-down of a ComboBox and there is not enough space to show them in a ListView" *** Bug 336108 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** This would be fixed automatically by fixing Bug 394698.
