Version: 1.2.3 (using 4.4.00 (KDE 4.4.0), Kubuntu packages) Compiler: cc OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.31-19-generic setup konversation to show the systray icon maximize konversation window now click on X to close the window now click on systray icon to restore konversation window => konversation win is restored on a fixed size and position expected : konversation window restored in the same position and size it had before beeing closed note: kontact had the same bug in the beginning of kde4 life
I can't reproduce this here on two different KDE 4.4 systems, but we can have a look through contact's SVN history and try to find out what they changed.
Additional info: Jonathan Thomas from Kubuntu tells me that this only happens when there's no config yet. If you set the Konversation window to a custom size and then quit and restart, the problem goes away. This is most likely a bug in KMainWindow's (in kdelibs) restore-size-from-config-file-on-creation code where that code also gets run on tray restore rather than just initial window creation when it shouldn't, and messes things up.
well I agree with comment #2 the problem disappears at subsequent launches, but this can confuse a newbie into thinking kde is not well polished.
Comment #2 wasn't meant to say that it shouldn't be fixed :). The way bug tracking works is that we collect all the information we have about the circumstances in which a defect arises, because being able to reproduce a bug is usually necessary to be able to fix a bug. Without the info up there, a developer looking into the matter might not be able to reproduce it, so he/she can't take a closer look at what happens and why it happens and how it can be fixed.
note that i did not close this bug ;) at least it could be confirmed now
Confirming as for KDE 4.5 beta 2 and Konverstation 1.3 (stable release).
Is this still valid for Konversation 1.4 or 1.5 RC1? At least I can't reproduce this with 1.5 RC1 on KDE 4.10.2
It is still valid for KDE 4.10.2 and Konversation 1.4 :(
It's a kdelibs bug, not a Konversation bug ... and iirc we found some kind of workaround, but I forgot it again, but it was something around the order of setting the size and quitting once ...
