Description Alyssa Hung 2007-11-22 04:17:33 UTC
Version:            (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
Compiler:          GCC 4.2.2 Configured with: ../configure --prefix=/usr --enable-shared --enable-languages=c,c++,objc --enable-threads=posix --enable-__cxa_atexit --disable-multilib --libdir=/usr/lib --libexecdir=/usr/lib --enable-clocale=gnu --disable-libstdcxx-pch --with-tune=generic
OS:                Linux

I am using a KDE 4.0 snapshot taken from SVN trunk on 2007-11-21 at 02:00 UTC.

There are numerous keyboard shortcuts in Konsole that only work when the menu bar is shown. The specific ones I encountered include:

- New Window (Ctrl+Shift+M)
- New Tab (Ctrl+Shift+N)
- Full Screen Mode (Ctrl+Shift+F11)

None of the above keyboard shortcuts work when the menu bar is hidden by toggling the option at View->Hide Menu Bar.

In the case of New Tab, I can still double-click on a blank spot in the tab bar to open a new tab, but doing so also automatically re-shows the menu bar. The View->Show/Hide Menu Bar option remains _unchecked_ when the menu bar is auto-shown this way, and I must re-check and uncheck it to hide the menu bar once more.

Other keyboard shortcuts, such as Copy/Paste (Ctrl+Shift+C/V), Find (Ctrl+Shift+F), Close Tab (Ctrl+Shift+W), and Clear Scrollbar & Reset (Ctrl+Shift+X) work perfectly both with and without the menu bar showing.

I'm sorry to say that these commits made to fix bug 151421 ( http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151421 ) don't _quite_ fix the problems I have was having with Konsole. Even though shortcuts now work predictably when the menu bar isn't shown, the second problem I described is still present.

Whenever I open a new tab, whether with Shift+Ctrl+N or by double-clicking on the tab bar, the menu bar always reappears even though the option to show it remains unchecked in the View menu. I have to re-check and uncheck the option again to hide the menu bar once more. It'd really be better if the menu bar could stay hidden.

It has been fixed on recent revisions.
