Version: 4.5.3 (using KDE 4.7.2) OS: Linux The left hand coloumn (named "Your payees") in the "Payees" section is far too narrow on some displays (here: 1280x1024). The right hand area uses much scren-estate than it actually needs. When going to Payees for the first time after KMyMoney was started, I can widen the left-hand coloumn a little bit (still less than I would like but at least a little). It stays at this width until I click on a payee and then go to the tab "Default Account". Then it shrinks to a really narrow width (can't read many payee names without scrolling horizontally). AND: The width can not be increased again until I restart KMyMoney. Although this seems to be a rather trivial bug, it is really annoying! Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Open a file with Payees Go to Payees Widen "Your payees" coloumn (works, at least a little bit) Select a payee Go to "Default Account" tab (=>"Your payees" shrinks") Actual Results: After the described steps, the maximum width is blocked at a very narrow width which hardly allows to read the payee names. This seems to be more severe on a 1280x1024 display than on a 1440x900 display) Expected Results: The width of the "Your payees" column should be far wider, so that payees remain readable. This can be done without compromising the readability of the tab area and worked correctly for me with KMyMoney 4.5.3 (KDE 4.6.2). OS: Linux (i686) release 3.0.0-12-generic-pae Compiler: gcc
I don't understand this, AFAIK there is a splitter between the payees list and the payee data and that splitter has not limitation and should be persistent. Did you try to adjust the splitter or just the column width of the list? Could you post a screenshot (you should blur out the data) just to make sure we are thinking about the same stuff?

Yes, there is a splitter. Yes, I tried to adjust it. But it *does* have a limitation. The screenshot shows the right-most position I can move this splitter to. If I move it farther, the right-hand pane colapses to zero width (which is not what I want either). Furthermore, the maximum width is not always the same. As soon as I click the "Default Account" time, it is reduced even more (as in the screenshot) and can not be reverted anymore without restarting KMyMoney.
The collapsing of the splitter pane seems to be the default behavior of the QSplitter object. You can still grab it (it is maybe a pixel wide or so) and drag it to the right so that the payee list shows up again (tested with trunk). I am not sure how much the screen resolution plays a role here: I have used 1920x1200 during my testing.
Git commit da97749c493641f2fe1f31c93489ee021b5dfeaf by Cristian Oneț. Committed on 10/12/2011 at 11:39. Pushed by conet into branch 'master'. Do not allow the children widgets of the splitter to be collapsed. This is needed in the payees and budgets view where the splitter has two children and the data rendered on the right depends on the data selected on the left so it does not make sense to hide (collapse) any of the two widgets. The setChildrenCollapsible call after restoreState is needed for users that have an already saved state since the childrenCollapsible property is saved with the state.

The part which was fixed by the commits is that the widgets should not be collapsible anymore. I've tested the payees view using the smallest resolution of the window and it seemed to behave appropriately (I could see all info both on the left and on the right side of the splitter). If you fell you need more horizontal space check out the 'Tabbed' view in 'General'->'Views' tab of the KMyMoney configuration dialog.
