Version: (using Devel) OS: Linux Installed from: Compiled sources the webbrowser plasmoid has the following 2 bugs: - it does not resize the browser when the plasmoid is resized. - the plasmoid resizes x AND y linked ! - option wish : hide all control's (for webservice display on the background)
About the wish, please open a new bug report. Don't mix up bugs and requests together.
i'm not sure i agree with the wish. there's a web content widget so writing a "show a web page with no chrome" is probably all of a dozen lines of code, and adding ways to hide/show the chrome in the browser is just asking for more UI complexity. anyways, both problems reported have been fixed in trunk for a while now.
bug still exist in trunk from yesterday, please verify with your trunk build
I can reproduce both resizing issues using r906701 compiled right now from trunk.
of course i tested before closing with my build from this morning. btw: "- the plasmoid resizes x AND y linked ! " http://websvn.kde.org/?view=rev&revision=902257 <-- fixed on december 27th. unless someone can give me a way to reproduce this bug, i'm going to close it again with WORKSFORME and assume it's a Qt issue.
For me, the first webbrowser on desktop does not resize correctly, all further instances resize well though. Removing all of them and readding one makes it not resize properly. If there is one in panel, the one on desktop resizes OK. Popup resizes OK when applet in panel, even for 1st instance. In short: the applet on desktop resizes correctly only if there is already another instance of it.
I confirm what Anne said: adding a second webbrowser plasmoid, allows to resize it freely. P.s: I'm using Qt 4.4.3
I've been trying to make sense of this bug for the past day or so. I've been able to narrow down the problem a bit, but can't pinpoint it exactly because I'm a QT novice. In the first browser instance, resizing works until the first page is loaded. This can be tested by commenting out the m_browser->setUrl() in the function WebBrowser::graphicsWidget() in webbrowser.cpp, or simply severing the internet connection before starting the applet. After the page is loaded, none of the children of the applet receive setGeometry() signals and do not resize accordingly. It seems as if the main layout of the widget gets disconnected from resize events. The problem appears somewhere between the call to WebView::setUrl() in webview.cpp (kdelibs/plasma/widgets/), which only contains a call to QWebFrame::load(), and before the page is loaded (before WebViewPrivate::loadingFinished() is called). I tried a workaround by creating a WebBrowser::constraintsEvent() handler which calls m_layout->setGeometry(contentsRect()). This results in resize working, but margins are not preserved and it doesn't fix the underlying problem.
