Description Gav Wood 2005-01-18 18:28:16 UTC
Version:           0.1 (using KDE 3.3.91 (beta1), Gentoo)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.4.3 (Gentoo Linux 3.4.3, ssp-3.4.3-0, pie-8.7.6.6)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.9-gentoo-r1

despite some real progress with the summary view, it could still do with an improvement.

currently, like many users i have no appointments, to-dos, notes, or birthdays.

the way the various summary componenets display their emptiness is different:

appointments places "No appointments pending" centrally.

To-dos places "No to-dos pending" right of centre.

Notes has no text at all.

Birthdays places the text "No borthdays..." left justified with a some margin from the left side.

please introduce some much needed consistent alignment to this otherwise very useful page.

Comment 3 Rob 2007-03-27 05:44:03 UTC
Should this have been marked as fixed? I'm still experiencing this with Kontact 1.2.4 on KDE 3.5.6.

Reopening as per request in comment #3.
Comment 5 George Kiagiadakis 2008-09-29 12:52:38 UTC
I can't fully reproduce this on kontact 1.3 svn trunk r865463. Everything seems to be correctly aligned except popup notes, which is aligned in the center. I had a look at the code and it seems that actually all messages are aligned to the center, but this is not noticable to the user because the other messages (all except the one in popup notes) are too big and take up all the available space.

This bug has only been reported for versions before 4.14, which have been unsupported for at least two years now. Can anyone tell if this bug still present?

If noone confirms this bug for a Framework-based version of kontact (version 5.0 or later, as part of KDE Applications 15.08 or later), it gets closed in about three months.
Comment 7 Denis Kurz 2017-01-07 22:25:25 UTC
Just as announced in my last comment, I close this bug. If you encounter it again in a recent version (at least 5.0 aka 15.08), please open a new one unless it already exists. Thank you for all your input.
