Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.6) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages OS: Linux in konqueror, if i view a pdf file, there pops up a pdf toolbar on top of the tabs and the menu acquires pdf-specific options. similarly for pictures, text files etc the context toolbars pop up on top and the menu changes. this is quite confusing and clutters the konqueror interface, imho. it would be much neater if the konqueror's menus and toolbar area are kept unchanged. the context specific menu and the toolbar should be pushed within the tab. give the context-specific menu a single accelerators or accelerators that don't conflict with the main menu.
I cannot fully confirm this wishlist, as I think having the extra toolbar is nice to have, but there are definitely issues if e.g. there's a PDF part side-by-side with a HTML part, such as what's used by the German National Library, where switching between those parts to navigate the pages causes the toolbar to appear and hide, and in the process of doing so losing focus on the HTML part and causing flicker. A change on how parts and toolbars work together is needed, therefore I'll confirm this bug, even though I see the problem spectrum wider than the OP.
Seems I forgot this older report and reported this bug again against KDE 4. It still exists in KDE 4.2.2. I will make this a dup of the newer bug report because I have discussed the problem and potential solutions in that report. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 184891 ***
