Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.5) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages KMix configuration dialog shows 2 options for orientation of sliders: vertical and horizontal. But the meaning is just the opposite: when horizontal is selected, sliders are vertical, when vertical is selected, sliders are horizontal. The suspected culprit is line 088 in viewsliders.cpp: Qt::Orientation orientation = (_vflags & ViewBase::Vertical) ? Qt::Horizontal : Qt::Vertical;
It is orientation, not direction. So the behaviour is actually correct. If there is a clearer formulation, please let me know, so I can change this for KDE4.
I don't see the difference between orientation and direction. And the label says "Slider Orientation: ". The first thing that comes to mind are volume sliders. You can fix it for KDE 3.5.6. The string freeze has been lifted. For example you can change it to "Window orientation:".
I agree with the reporter. See also: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=130302
As do I. I suggest that they be switched, because a vertical slider goes up-down and a horizontal one goes left-right. I just helped someone else resolve this, and, in the process, was confused myself.

Due to overwhelming agreement this has been changed in KDE4. This means: If you configure "horizontal", each single slider goes from left to right. If you configure "vertical", each single slider goes from bottom to top.
Fixed in KDE4 ... closing
