Bug ID: 402904
Summary: The status bar imposes a limit on the minimum width of
the window
Product: kate
Version: 18.08.0
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: kwrite
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Let's say that I want a really small (20 chars width) instance of kwrite for
note taking (to achieve a small 'always on top' sticky note) - it cannot be
done unless the status bar is hidden.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Kwrite
2. Make sure status bar is showing
3. Shrink horizontally as much as possible
OBSERVED RESULT
The status bar imposes a limit on the minimum width of the window.
EXPECTED RESULT
Any of the following (from easy to hard):
A: Status bar should get cut
B: Status bar should get shrinked
C: Status bar should be scrollable
I think 'B' is the current behaviour in Kate, but not sure since I'm on an old
version.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This was discussed in https://phabricator.kde.org/D17730 where the status bar
was reworked for Kate (note: this is a Kwrite bug). It was concluded that the
length issue was out of scope and better handled separately.
This same bug was treated and fixed for gwenview and kst in 2003 and 2005
(https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=69885 and
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=104347). I don't use those and maybe this
is completely irrelevant, but maybe there is some useful code to reuse? Who
knows?
