Version: 2.6.4 (using KDE 4.7.0) OS: Linux KDE 4's Konsole always starts in full-screen height, even after I explicitly resize it. I want it to be only 24-lines high, but it is ignored. I tried deleting the files under ~/.kde4/share/config/session/ , tried pkill konsole, and tried in a new UNIX user account - the bug is always there. I have a screen whose height is only 768 lines, and my default font may be pretty large. It happens even though the "Save window size and position on exit" is toggled on for the current profile as it is by default. See: https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=63814 After a long investigation I found that: 1. KWin assigns the NET::MaxVert flag to the window, which causes it to open at maximal height (= vertical size). 2. This happens because the height of the window is requested to be too large (769 pixels whereas I only have 768.). 3. What this patch does is tentatively workaround the problem by requesting a smaller terminal size (80*20 instead of 80*40), but it's really a kludge. Regards, -- Shlomi Fish Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a new UNIX user account. 2. Login from the virtual console. 3. Start KDE using startx -- :1 4. Invoke a konsole. 5. Resize it to be 10 lines high or so. 6. Close it. 7. Start a new konsole. Actual Results: Result: the new konsole is the height of the screen. Expected Results: The New Konsole should be resized properly. I'm on Mandriva Linux Cooker on an x86-64 laptop with a 768 pixels high screen.
Created attachment 62346 [details] A tentative patch that fixes the problem in an ad-hoc way. What this patch does is reduce the initial height of konsole which then allows it to be resized properly. Do not apply - it's very ad-hoc.
I'm seeing a possibly related bug. I have two monitors with resolutions 1920x1080 and 2560x1600. Not only does Konsole become maximized vertically when I launch it, but every time I move it to the other monitor, it resizes itself to the maximum height. This makes it really annoying. Let me know if I should file a separate bug.
Wow, System Settings does that too, so it's not just Konsole.
I just checked the reported problem again using KDE SC 4.8. It seems OK now. Could the reporter check it again using KDE SC 4.8? (In reply to comment #2 and #3) > I'm seeing a possibly related bug.

The second problem sounds the same as bug 291809, and that problem seems also fixed in KDE SC 4.8 according the feedback of the reporter.

After being resized, Konsole opens in the last height. Resolving as fixed. > Regards, > > -- Shlomi Fish
