Description Peter 2008-12-03 12:13:38 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.1.3)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

It is not possible to get the navigation panel width enough to view table of contents with some subsections and long Names. This makes it useless for large dokument like IEEE papers.

Also note you have tooltips for the items in the TOC, so they are not entirely "invisible".
When KDE 4.2 final is released, could you tell us whether the situation is improved? Thanks!

(Okular: Version 0.7.3 Using KDE 4.1.3 (KDE 4.1.3) "release 4.10.4")
(KDE: Release 3.5.10 "release 21.11" default installed on on openSUSE 11.1)

I also find the limited sizing of the left pane (and without scrollbar as in kpdf) very irritating. Hovering over the TOC entry does show the whole entry in my openSUSE 11.1 64 Bit System, but I also need a larger window for the TOC with sometimes up to 5 levels in the PDF's. The truncation only show the first letters sometimes.

Why can the two panes not be varied without limits for either the TOC or the
main displayed PDF?

Also, when I scroll in large PDF's with 800-1000+ pages then the TOC does not automatically follow when I click on a page on a lower level or below the window. If I manually open up the TOC at about the page chapters showing, then the green pointer is there. If it is in a sub section, I have to open it up by hand first, before I see the pointer.

Indeed okular 0.9.2 is a bit better than old kpdf regarding the width of the
toc navigator panel, nut I still don't understand why it is limited to 600px.
This may be ok on a 1024x768 screen, but indeed is not on my 1920x1200 one !

Do you have such a pdf that needs a that big table of contents? Could you attach it?
