Version: (using KDE 4.3.0) Installed from: SuSE RPMs In gwenview, after you choose crop, set the bounding box for the desired cropped image size and choose crop to complete the operation a black bar appears under the top toolbar that provides the options to Save / Save All of the changes to the image(s). When the bar is displayed, it shift the whole image down to accommodate for the extra space taken by the bar causing the image to jump around on the page. That's unexpected and very annoying. See annotated image: http://www.3111skyline.com/download/openSUSE_bugs/kde4/screenshots/gwenview-save-bar.jpeg (1) The idea of a bar splashed across the entire document window to remind people to save isn't a bad idea. However, when it is displayed, it should *not* cause the image to jump up and down on the page or shift the image in any way. Having the whole document window become animated is very annoying and reminds you of some unwanted pop-up ad appearing in a web browser. If you are going to do save bar, then it is expected that the save bar would "overlay" the existing document window without disturbing the content and not just cram itself into a space below the toolbar shifting the remaining contents downward. (2) There should be a way to turn off this "automatically prompt newbies to save" option. There are a large number of people out there that are smart enough to remember to save a document after it has been modified. The shifting the whole document to make room for the current image modified bar is the big issue. It's just annoying. And remember, every feature is a bug if there is no way to turn it off.

Confirmed in KDE 4.3.1. Performing an edit operation on an image displaces the image in a jarring fashion. This is in stark contrast to the overall fluid feel of KDE 4 with it's otherwise smooth animations.
The problem with having the save bar implemented as an overlay is that it would hide a large part of the image, which is not acceptable. Maybe having the savebar appear in a less jumpy way would be better.
Yeah, we can't have it obscure part of the image. And most people appreciate animations; they help you understand what's happening.
