(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***) Package: knode Version: KDE 2.2.0 Severity: normal Installed from: RedHat RPMs Compiler: Not Specified OS: Linux OS/Compiler notes: Not Specified When clicking on articles in the article list the main window of KNode resizes and repositions itself often partially off screen. This happened the first few times I ran the latest version of KNode. Right now I can't reproduce the bug. Very very odd. (Submitted via bugs.kde.org)
The last update to this bug report was over 1 year ago. Can you please give us an updated on whether this is still a problem for you with a more recent version of knode? If it is not a problem - the status of this bug report will be changed to closed.
this problem does not seem to be reproducible, therefore I am setting this as resolved. The resolution status is being set to INVALID but it should really be set to "NOT REPRODUCIBLE" if it was available :-(

I encounter the problem in KDE-3.1 (KDE_3_1_BRANCH) with new qt, all self compiled. It did not appear until last week, so it might be elusive. What info do you need?

I encounter the bug in KDE-3.1.1 on a new distribution and with completely new settings. It does exist unless it is fixed in CVS, which should be documented here, I reopen it.

Created attachment 1379 [details] screenshot showing knode resized beyond screen wide. This is easy to reproduce if you select a group with a long name (in german the gui strings are wider so this is often seen from german users only). To trigger the problem try with a bigger font size. My screenshot shows the german knode GUI with Arial 14. How to reproduce: Set knode to full size Select a group with a rather long name (selecting a long filter name also helps) The status line is resized beyond the screen.
I also had this problem. I had kde 3.1.2 and the qt version needed for this version (I also had the problem before kde 3.1.2). I have Gentoo. A few days ago added the kde cvs ebuilds and started building kde cvs...and this started also building a new version of qt (I think cvs, but I don't know). I also thaught it removes the old qt (not sure anymore). After this a don't have the resize problem anymore with knode from kde 3.1.2 (the stable one!). I think because it uses know the new qt version. So...maybe it was a problem in qt and it's fixed now??

I can confirm this behaviour with KDE CVS (pre3.3) It does not resize beyond the screen (even the longest newsgroup was not able to be too big for my 1400*1050) resolution, but it still resizes the window when changing the newsgroup.

Here (KDE-3.2.3 on Debian Sarge) it does this resizing when getting the list of new posting and change to any abbreviated-displayed news group (e.g. comp.soft-sys.wxwindows). However I doubt that it can be that hard to never(!) resize the window except when done by the user. And yes, here it happens _every_ time I press the button to get new postings with the only exception of having the mark on the very first item (that groups all groups). I have my group list on the right side and the window only extends to the right. HS

Is anything going to be done about this? It even does not follow the rules of the window manager that maximized windows are not resizable. I hereby reconfirm this bug for KDE-3.1.1. Absolutely NO OTHER application has this strange behaviour! HS
Created attachment 8419 [details] proposed patch Could you please test the attached patch?
I downloaded KDE-3.1.1 from Debian unstable and applied the patch and built new packages and reinstalled knode from the created deb. Then, I closed knode and started it again. Nothing changed, the main knode window is still resized on every update of the articles.
Correction to previous post: KDE-3.3.1 from Debian unstable (NOT 3.1.1)

Fixed locally, patch pending on kde-pim@kde.org for review.
It's been four years. I don't *care* about this bug anymore.

CVS commit by vkrause: Use squeeze text labels for the status bar of Kontact and KNode. This fixes various issues with status bar messages which have not been truncated correctly or not have been updated on resize, in the worst case leading to a main window resized beyond screen size. We need our own slightly modified copy of the squeeze text label here since the one from kdeui doesn't support right squeezing. BUG: 30737 A libkdepim/krsqueezedtextlabel.cpp 1.1 [LGPL] A libkdepim/krsqueezedtextlabel.h 1.1 [LGPL] M +5 -12 knode/knmainwidget.cpp 1.61 M +5 -5 knode/knmainwidget.h 1.26 M +7 -5 knode/knode.cpp 1.133 M +3 -1 knode/knode.h 1.57 M +3 -2 knode/knode_part.cpp 1.15 M +6 -7 kontact/src/mainwindow.cpp 1.135 M +2 -2 kontact/src/mainwindow.h 1.57 M +2 -1 libkdepim/Makefile.am 1.91
The fix seems to indicate that not displaying the status is a work-around to this. So far, this seems to be true :-D
