Thomas Fischer <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ever confirmed|0 |1 Status|REPORTED |CONFIRMED --- Comment #1 from Thomas Fischer <[email protected]> --- The list view component from Qt does not support out of the box to have "relative" widths, for example to allow the Title column to have 20% irrespective of the window's size. KBibTeX tried to mimic the "relative-size" behavior by recalculating the columns' widths at any window resize event (or when columns where shown/hidden, manually resized, or rearranged). The code had known limitations and flaws, causing bugs like setting columns' width to 0 if anything went wrong or suddenly showing *all* possible columns. Despite several attempts to rewrite the code, it never worked sufficiently well. Thus, the whole "relative-size" code got removed to have a stable and working but minimal-feature list view. IMHO, this "relative-size" feature should be implemented in Qt directly (I guess it won't happen before Qt6) instead of attempting to do this in KBibTeX. Maybe I'll open a feature request at Qt directly ... The commit to remove the flawed relative-size feature is 841be480cc2230bfe7ba095. > It seems to be impossible to reorder the columns in the main list (such as > year, author, title ... ) to the user's preferences.
