Version: (using KDE 4.3.1) OS: Linux Installed from: Ubuntu Packages 1. Open more than one tab 2. On one of the tabs turn on the search mode 3. Switch between tabs In above situation konsole will show you a resize box.
Yes, that situation reproduce easy! Size box was shown when switch from one tab to another and search mode is on OS: FreeBSD RELEASE 7.2-p2 KDE: 4.3.0
You get the dialog since that the terminal size is changed due to search bar.
Consider hiding dialog when search bar is active.
In the upcoming konsole-2.8, there is a workaround: users have the option to disable that size hint after resizing.
Confirmed you can now disable the size hint in version 2.10. I suggest closing the bug because the feature works properly. When the search bar is active you got 2 lines less of space, I think the size hint's porpoise is to warn about any size change.
