Description Johan Eidenvall 2009-01-02 17:04:39 UTC
Version:           1.4.1 (using KDE 4.1.3)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

I am using an EeePC 900 with a LCD screen with a resolution of 1024x600. With this resolution I have trouble with a few of the window being too high; namely:
* Configure
* Calculator
* Altitude vs. Time
(there could be more, but these are those that are accessed directly from the menu.)

The "Set Geographic Location" window is a borderline case, it is too big if I have a few pixels taken for a panel at the top of my screen...

It would be nice if the windows could be displayed completely, however I do not see this as a high priority bug, since I can move the windows around (after unconstrainging Y-position of windows in the windowmanager) to get to the bottom of them.

So, to conclude: If you at some point re-design the windows (any of them) please keep in mind the small-screen-users. But, if there are no othes having trouble with this, then, by all means, there is no need to change the windows unless they are re-designed for other purpouses.

I have the same problem with my EeePc 900 running Debian with kde 4.2.2, bugged at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=500620

It kind of makes kstars not very usefull for my pupils on their laptops.
