Version: 2.2 (using Devel) OS: Linux kruler shown vertically shows the usual ruler (I used before KDE 4.6.5, now 4.8-RC1). When I middle-click the ruler to have it horizontally, it now fills the complete screen. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: see above Actual Results: see above Expected Results: ruler shall only be as high when used horizontally as it is wide when shown vertically OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.34.10-0.4-desktop Compiler: gcc openSuse 11.3
Not reproducable here. You do know that you can resize the ruler, for example using the ALT+LMB trick?
Hmmm ... veeerryy strange! I can not reproduce it either now. I had it acting like this yesterday every time I middle-clicked it. And yesterday I also could not change the length - it always stayed as wide as my screen ... Let's close it then.
Could you check your kwin settings? In the Window Behavior, tab actions; middle button may go to maximize. Either way, closing sounds fine :)
Middle-click setting is still set to Shade. I did not change the setting when updating to 4.8.rc1.
