I think it might be a KDE or QT bug (more broadly, or limited to FC4). I flipped through the API docs going back by KDE and QT to 2.x. We use setFixedHeight() to set the height for this and all the other combos. This looks like it's inherited from QWidget, and it's been the same for a long time. There are no published API differences between his QT and mine, his KDE and mine (this one I know off the top of my head is 3.4.0 for me, 3.4.1 for him, but a generic KDE 3.4 API), so this behavior shouldn't have changed. If it did, then isn't it a bug with QT and/or KDE? It looks like we might or might not hack around his problem by using a setSizeLimit() here instead. It looks like this has been around since QT 2.x too, and so I'm not sure why we use one over the other. It produces predictable results here, and overrides the setFixedHeight(), so maybe it would work for Larry. Opinions? Bottom line is I can't see any reason why our code would do this all of a sudden. Mine isn't the only combo box with >10 entries at all, and I'm betting that all his combos are breaking the same way. It's just so woefully obvious with this particular big'un. -- Michael McIntyre ---- Silvan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Linux fanatic, and certified Geek; registered Linux user #243621 http://www.geocities.com/Paris/Rue/5407/ http://rosegarden.sourceforge.net/tutorial/ ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.
