Description Tom Collins 2003-06-21 08:22:51 UTC 
Version:           CVS 6/21/2003 w/Qt 3.2beta1 (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
Compiler:          gcc 3.2.2 
OS:          Linux

With the latest CVS and the switch to the QtabWidget, Konqueror now resizes tabs
on the fly based on how many tabs are open and the title of the page.  Unfortunately,
this means that when a new tab is created or destroyed, all of the tabs move around
and resize.  This is visually poor, as it creates lots of distracting flashing as tabs
are added and created.

What I would suggest is:

- All tabs be the same size.
- Only re-calculate tab sizes once per tab creation or destruction.

It's kind-of hard to describe how this should work, but Mozilla has done the tab
creation perfectly for as long as I can remember.  Konqueror should work just
the same.

Konqueror used QTabWidget already before and the flicker has to be fixed in Qt.
