Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.4.2) OS: Linux When the plasma panel in plasma-netbook is horizontal, the plasma widget browser slides out from it as expected. However, it takes the width of two widget items and displays the widgets in a horizontal fashion, as well as cramping the search bar and widget groups together at the top as if it were being displayed horizontally. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Start plasma-netbook, unlock the panel, click the cashew and drag it to one of the sides (mine is on the left). It will appear horizontally. Make it wider for the sake of aesthetic. With the cashew menu still open, click, "Add Widgets". Actual Results: The widget browser scrolls horizontally and additional options (search, groups and get new widgets) appear at the top as if expecting a horizontal panel. Expected Results: The widgets should scroll vertically and the additional options should show vertically nearest the centre of the screen (furthest from the panel). Whether the text should also be vertical or the dialogue should be made wider to accommodate horizontal text is debatable. OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.32-21-generic Compiler: cc
can you provide a screenshot?
Created attachment 43955 [details] Screenshot of the vertical widget picker This shows the widget picker when used with a vertical panel: the width of the picker seems to vary with the plasma theme in use, the weather and stages of the lunar cycle.
