I don't know why this bug still had unconfirmed status. This bug does even still exist in KDE 3.0.5. Because i can't reproduce it. What decorations are you using? Subject: Re: No maximize button even though window only covers half the screen

If you use the SuSE decoration you will not be able to see the bug from the
icons as there seems to be no difference between the cascade and the maximize
icon. However, the behaviour is reproducible with the KDE 2 or the keramik
decoration (those are the decorations I tried).
And there are other apps showing the same behavior.

Maybe it's just misleading. I can confirm with a recent kdelibs. After KNode is maximized and you start to drag the left or right size to decrease the width of the window, the Maximize button turns to the "Restore" button and the Maximize menu item is unselected from the window menu, but after closing/restarting it is checked and the icon says that the window is maximized, altough it isn't. Resizing/moving the window corrects the situation. What I believe that happens is, that the window is treated as maximized even if it's maximized only vertically. I'm using the Keramik Windows Decoration setting.

I can confirm it. Both recent CVS and 3.1 branch using KDE2 decoration. I can confirm this. After restarting knode, no maximize-button is displayed, but a restore-button instead. Oh, I forgot to mention. This is with a kdelibs build from February 28. I've seen this a few times. This is not actually a bug. It's simply because windows that are fully maximized have the same symbol in the maximize buttons as windows maximized only horizontally/vertically. So in this case, the button shows that KNode is maximized, and it indeed is, vertically. Subject: Re: No maximize button even though window only covers half the screen

From a usability point-of-view this is just wrong. Please compare it to KMails
behaviour. There, it does seem to work correctly.
IMO the maximize button should be displayed whenever it is possible to
maximize a window. And since the window is only maximized vertically but not
horizontally it *can* be maximized. For the user maximizing has only one
meaning: Make the window so large that it fills the screen.
Should work fine with current CVS. |
