Bug ID: 384568
Summary: Edit user menu dialogue half inaccessible and window
does not obey window rules or application settings
Product: kile
Version: 2.9.91
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: user interface
Assignee: michel.lud...@kdemail.net
Reporter: ree...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
The dialogue window which is opened via the 'Edit user menu' menu option is
only partly accessible. In fact, I only discovered the bottom half exists by
looking in the user menu at the pictures.
On my screen, the dialogue should be at most 714 pixels tall, but is 865 and
refuses to be smaller. All attempts to enforce a sensible size using the window
manager (KDE/Plasma) - e.g. setting the size, setting a maximum size, setting
'maximise vertically', setting force geometry, setting ignore requested
geometry, any other thing I could think of - fail. If I have forced
maximisation vertically for the window, I'm completely stuck. It is 865 and
nothing doing. If I don't enforce this via a rule, I can make a bit more of it
visible by applying 'Maximise' to the individual dialogue window instance when
it appears. If I further remove the borders, I can actually access almost
everything in the window. However, doing this every time I want to edit the
menu is quickly driving me insane.
Note that it might matter that my locale is not English. Consequently, some
parts of Kile are displayed in English and some are not. (I guess it depends if
a translation is available.) So when I do 'detect window properties', it tells
me the type of window in a translated string. However, for that particular
window type, only the English translation is available in the window rule
dialogue box. However, this doesn't stop me controlling other application
windows successfully in KDE, so I wouldn't expect it to stop me controlling
Kile's windows. Hence, this seems to be a problem specifically on Kile's side.
