SUMMARY Toggling the "Show Statusbar" menu item (Settings > Show Statusbar) doesn't change the visibility of the status bar. Also, this menu item is always unchecked after restarting Konsole (if it was toggled before). SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: openSUSE Tumbleweed 2021044428 / X11 KDE Plasma Version: 5.21.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.81.0 KDE Gear: 21.04.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2
Can confirm. Seems to do nothing at all.
Probably, can be closed, since I no longer see this menu item in the master branch.
This was worked around with https://invent.kde.org/utilities/konsole/-/commit/7114a1e07d6ed0d59c33acc18a0bcfc5d158c158 and should hopefully be fixed with https://invent.kde.org/utilities/konsole/-/merge_requests/447/diffs?commit_id=3e74b205eb22356bb0c7bf84337288ae2c85d8cf
Reading this report's description again, this bug happened because of the first commit I linked above, which basically intercepts the show/hide statusbar menu action.
Git commit 090356661c92bfedeeeaf6f4f77d294facb3d8c6 by Kurt Hindenburg, on behalf of Ahmad Samir. Committed on 02/08/2021 at 15:28. Pushed by hindenburg into branch 'master'. Fix KXmlGUI toolbars; and Konsole MainWindow size Call setupGUI(), which will call createGUI (since we set the KXmlGuiWindow::Create flag), omit the StatusBar flag since we don't have a statusbar and don't want the "Show StatusBar" menu action. TabbedViewContainer::sizeHint() calculates an optimum size for itself, including the sizes of its child widgets; added in efb621d091c05f11 by Mariusz Glebocki; following the code: MainWindow creates a ViewManager ViewManager creates a TabbedViewContainer and then a TerminalDisplay which means that the first time TabbedViewContainer::sizeHint() is called the TerminalDisplay widget size is 0, then TabbedViewContainer::sizeHint() would return 0. Which is why calling resize() in MainWindow was delayed to the showEvent(), (and even delayed more by a QTimer::singleShot() call in Application), at which point all the child widgets have been created and MainWindow::sizeHint() (which logically takes into account the sizeHint() of its child widgets) would return a sensible size.
