Version: unknown (using 4.2.00 (KDE 4.2.0), Gentoo) Compiler: i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.28-gentoo-r1 The new kontact 4.2 does not restore its last window size at startup. This causes for instance kmail part to change its column header sizes to fit the new window size. This is very annoying since at each startup I manually resize kontact window, then adjust kmail column headers is message list. This was not happening in 4.1. Another feature that I found very useful is that kontact kept each component's window size (kontact window size depends on the select component). Thanks
Same for me. File ~/.kde4.2/share/config/kontactrc says that there is [MainWindow] Height 1200=1201 Width 1920=1489 before kontact is opened and Height 1200=1201 Width 1920=700 after second open.
I can confirm this with kontact in kde-4.2.0 too.
Patch submitted to mailing list. Waiting for approval to commit.
Fixed in svn (4.2 branch and trunk) as of r930166. Please test and close bug (I don't have permissions to do so).
ok, closing as fixed
The discribed problem still exists in Kontact 1.4.1 from KDE 4.2.1 (Kubuntu packages). Should this already been fixed, or will this come with KDE 4.2.2?
Hi, the fix should already be in KDE 4.2.1. Can you check to see if the [Mainwindow] section in your kontactrc file gets updated when you resize the kontact window please. Then close the app and restart it and check if it gets resized to the size in the kontactrc file or to some other size. If it is some other size what is it? It works for me here with KDE 4.2.1 (on Gentoo).
Here is what I did and what the [MainWindow] section of kontactrc looks like after each step: 1. Open Kontact 2. Resize the window to a comfortable size [MainWindow] Height 1200=1107 State=AAAA/wAAAAD9AAAAAAAAB3YAAAP8AAAABAAAAAQAAAAIAAAACPwAAAABAAAAAgAAAAIAAAAWAG0AYQBpAG4AVABvAG8AbABCAGEAcgEAAAAAAAAHdgAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIABuAGEAdgBpAGcAYQB0AG8AcgBUAG8AbwBsAEIAYQByAAAAAAD/////AAAAAAAAAAA= Width 1920=1921 4. Close Kontact via the X button of the window decoration [MainWindow] Height 1200=1107 State=AAAA/wAAAAD9AAAAAAAAB3YAAAP8AAAABAAAAAQAAAAIAAAACPwAAAABAAAAAgAAAAIAAAAWAG0AYQBpAG4AVABvAG8AbABCAGEAcgEAAAAAAAAHdgAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIABuAGEAdgBpAGcAYQB0AG8AcgBUAG8AbwBsAEIAYQByAAAAAAD/////AAAAAAAAAAA= Width 1920=1910 6. Open Kontact via the mail icon in the system tray, the window is quite small again, approx. 4:3 size. [MainWindow] Height 1200=600 State=AAAA/wAAAAD9AAAAAAAAAz4AAAIBAAAABAAAAAQAAAAIAAAACPwAAAABAAAAAgAAAAIAAAAWAG0AYQBpAG4AVABvAG8AbABCAGEAcgEAAAAAAAADPgAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIABuAGEAdgBpAGcAYQB0AG8AcgBUAG8AbwBsAEIAYQByAAAAAAD/////AAAAAAAAAAA= Width 1920=830 8.

Close Kontact via File->Quit [MainWindow] Height 1200=1107 State=AAAA/wAAAAD9AAAAAAAAB3YAAAP8AAAABAAAAAQAAAAIAAAACPwAAAABAAAAAgAAAAIAAAAWAG0AYQBpAG4AVABvAG8AbABCAGEAcgEAAAAAAAAHdgAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIABuAGEAdgBpAGcAYQB0AG8AcgBUAG8AbwBsAEIAYQByAAAAAAD/////AAAAAAAAAAA= Width 1920=1921 10. Open Kontact via KDE menu, the window has its previous width but the height is very low: [MainWindow] Height 1200=600 State=AAAA/wAAAAD9AAAAAAAAB3YAAAIBAAAABAAAAAQAAAAIAAAACPwAAAABAAAAAgAAAAIAAAAWAG0AYQBpAG4AVABvAG8AbABCAGEAcgEAAAAAAAAHdgAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIABuAGEAdgBpAGcAYQB0AG8AcgBUAG8AbwBsAEIAYQByAAAAAAD/////AAAAAAAAAAA= Width 1920=1921
