Description Thomas Meiner 2015-11-05 07:21:14 UTC
The Folder Viewer uses less the half high of the screen. This causes a lot of unnecessary scrolling. The overview to find a File is bad too. On smaller screens like notebooks, it is really a pain. On my 14" notebook, I'm unable to see more than 10 lines. In a folder with 40 files is's really unergonomic, because the would be enough space to display all files at once. 

Actual Results: Less then the half screen hight is used to display the content of the items. Expected Results: Pleas enable all the items in the System Tray to use the full display high if necessary. Thys used to work in KED 4. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Place a Folder Viewer Widget in a Panel and display a folder with 50+ files in it. 
2. chick on the Folder Viewer Widget to drop up/down 

Actual Results:  
Less the half of the screen hight is used to display the folder content.

Expected Results:  
Pleas enable the Folder Viewer Widget to use the full display high if necessary. Thys used to work in KED 4.

Pleas, bring back the behaver of KED 4!
