Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 157809
Dropdown list occupies the entire screen
Last modified: 2013-03-13 00:48:22 EDT
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.4; Linux) KHTML/3.4.0 (like Gecko) Description of problem: If the dropdown / combo box contains a very long list, and then you click on the dropdown array to select from the list, the list occupies the entire screen ... from top to bottom, then left to right ... instead of having a scrollbar. I reported the problem first to kde-redhat ... since I use kde-redhat on top of FC3. After several testing, the culprit was redhat-artwork-0.121-1.0.3.kde.i386.rpm. This problem did NOT happen with the older redhat-artwork-0.120-0.0.3.kde.i386.rpm. It also seems to be a bug specific to BlueCurve only, since if I change the Style to something like "Light Style, 3rd revision", then the problem does not happen as well. The package maintainer of kde-redhat advised me to report this problem over here, since it is bluecurve specific. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): redhat-artwork-0.122-2.1.3.kde How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install kde-redhat 2. Have at least redhat-artwork-0.121-1.0.3.kde.i386.rpm , or the latest redhat-artwork 3. Go to the test URL give above. 4. Now downgrade to redhat-artwork-0.120-0.0.3.kde.i386.rpm 5. Go again to the test URL. 6. Now upgrade again to the latest redhat-artworkxxxx.kde RPM 7. Change the Style in KDE Control Centre to someting other than BlueCurve. 8. Go again to the test URL. Actual Results: Step 3 shows the problem Step 5 and 6 does NOT show the problem Expected Results: Step 3 should have shown a scrollable dropdown list instead of occupying the entire screen. Additional info:
1. Install kde-redhat What is kde-redhat? If it is not comming from our offical packages I can't help. I am assuming it is a bug in Konqueror though you don't specify. If this bug happens with KDE from our packages then I may be able to help if it is coming from some other build of Konqueror then they will have to patch their packages.
Closing this as WorksForMe as I have a fully updated FC3 box running Konqueror and bluecurve which does not exibit this problem.
John, can you at least see if you can confirm/deny the problem using a FC4(test) box, since that's the (same) version of redhat-artwork Mr. Salvo is referring to.
I'll do that. It was filed against FC3 so I triaged it on FC3.
I can now confirm the bug on the devel branch (FC4). Might be related to this ChangeLog: * Wed Mar 23 2005 Than Ngo <than@redhat.com> 0.121-1 - 0.121 - Add qt Bluecurve fixes and improvements from Peter Backlund Reopening. Than, can you take a look at this?
Pls ? Any help I can provide ?
Can you provide a patch? I don't have time to look at this right this second. I cc'ed Than as he added the Bluecurve fixes that most likely broke this but I am sure he is swamped and hasn't replyed yet. If I get a chance after this week I might be able to look at it but it is low in my queue.
it seems the improvements from Peter Backlund has caused this bug. It's on my todo list.
John, it would be nice if you could take a look here please. thanks
it's now fixed in redhat-artwork-0.124, which will be available in rawhide in next day. Thanks for your report.
Using redhat-artwork-0.124 package from kde-redhat, and I can confirm that the problem has been fixed.
