Bug ID: 363473
Summary: KDevelop should use a different tab bar widget for
tabbed documents
Product: kdevelop
Version: git master
Platform: Compiled Sources
OS: OS X
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: documentview
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
KDevelop currently (still) uses a tab bar style which on OS X is rendered using
an inappropriate widget. This widget is intended only for use in dialogs where
the number of tabs is fixed and limited, like in the screenshot of
Terminal.app's preferences dialog. Even Apple themselves use the widget type
less and less (cf. the screenshot of the Xcode preferences, v6.2, not even the
latest).
Not only is this style choice inappropriate when the goal is to follow Apple's
HIG and blend in as well as possible, it's also inefficient as the tabs will
quickly start truncating their text (= the filename) when the bar runs out of
horizontal space. And for some reason the scroll widget which usually appears
when the tab bar becomes too wide doesn't appear, presumably because the bar
width never exceeds the available space.
Reproducible: Always
Actual Results:
See screenshots
Expected Results:
As Kate5 does; see the screenshot containing Kate's tab bar.
