Description Kubuntiac 2009-07-22 23:08:45 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.2.98)

When dockers are minimised, they shrink horizontally as well as vertically, hiding their name, what they do and their keyboard shortcut, even when there is blank space next to them.

See this image:

I'm guessing that they should shrink vertically to just the name / shortcut, but still use the full width of the docker panel, as in this immage (mocked up in Krita for bonus points :-)

Minimised dockers in the current revision - please compare to the mockup image

Awesome. All glory to the hypnoto...er Rahul!

On r1199143 it now at least doesn't cut the name off, but it still isn't using the available width like un-minimised dockers do, which looks strange. (See attached picture for details).

We're so very close to having this perfect. Any chance of just updating the width calculation to just be 100% of the docker column as in the mockup image above?

How minimised dockers appear on opening

I also just discovered a glitch in this... when first opening Krita (and maybe other koffice apps) with minimised dockers, this patch doesn't seem to fix *any* of the issue. Labels still get cut off. docker-on-open.png demonstrates how dockers appear on first opening Krita r1199143.

If I unminimise a docker and minimise it again, then the text ceases to be cut off (although it's still not full width). See docker-after-unminimise-and-minimise.png for this state.

How dockers appear after unminimise and then minimise
Comment 5 Kubuntiac 2010-11-21 06:02:21 UTC
Ideally though, dockers should *always* take the full column width when minimised... just as they do when they're maximised.
Comment 6 Thomas Zander 2010-11-21 12:45:56 UTC
Whats the reason for you reopening the bug? The issue got fixed. The shortcut can be read, the text can be read.
I see you wanted it to be full width but is that really reason for reopening the bug?
Comment 7 Kubuntiac 2010-11-21 19:01:26 UTC
By shortcut I'm assuming you mean the title at the top of the docker, in which case, no it can't be read if the docker is minimised when you first open Krita.

1. See http://bugsfiles.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=53598 and look at the title of the second docker in that image. This is how dockers currently show up (after the patch) if minimised when Krita is first opened. They only show the full text if you maximise them and then minimise them again.

2. The title of this original issue starts with "Minimised dockers don't use available width". Look at any of the attatched images. Under no circumstances are minimised dockers using the available width.

Thank you for your bug report or feature suggestion.

The "KOffice" application suite is no longer maintained, and all tickets are now closed.

We recommend to switch to the "Calligra" application suite, which has replacements for all unmaintained KOffice applications:

- KWord was replaced with Calligra Words
- KPlato was replaced with Calligra Plan

For more information, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calligra_Suite
