Version: (using KDE 4.3.2) OS: Linux Installed from: Mandriva RPMs the pointer in the right scrollbar apparently has no minimal size set. After few thousands lines printed out, the pointer gets 1 pixel tall and eventually disappears completely to reproduce: 1. set the scrollback to unlimited or very high (I have 100 000) 2. launch a process producing large amount of output this prevents me to do big jumps in the output, forcing me to use pgup/down, which is slow I wouldn't expect the pointer to shrink below ~5 pixels, less than that make it difficult to catch with the mouse.
I assume you mean the handle/slider/thumb size of the scrollbar and use Oxygen style, so I am reassigning, as Konsole cannot influence the minimum size of the scrollbar slider. To confirm the issue, you could try a different style. With Skulpture, you can change the minimum scrollbar slider size to check.
Which style do you use? I cannot reproduce. According to the code, Oxygen uses 21 pixels minimum size, and this has not changed since KDE 4.0. Running Konsole with unlimited size, and "cat"ing a large file (95000 lines, confirmed using cat -n option) about 10 times, the scrollbar handle does not shrink below that size.
ah, thanks for the hint, I didn't think it would be style-related! I am using the iaora-kde style which is Mandriva's default. After switching to oxygen the handle reappeared, sized just fine. Sorry for the noise, I'll open a bug in Mandriva's bugzilla.
