screenshot of the overly large current "Account Assistant" window

Since Fedora-Rawhide-20231216.n.0 or so, the "Account Assistant" that appears on first run of KMail is so big it isn't fully visible on a 1024x768 screen, and is not scrollable. See attached screenshot. There is a lot of useless grey padding.

This makes the openQA test fail as it can't see the "Cancel" button it needs to click to dismiss this dialog. See the other attached screenshot as a reference for how it looked before.

Comment 2 Adam Williamson 2024-01-03 16:05:25 UTC
Hum, now I look, there are similar issues for a couple of other apps:

* Kontakt has the same overly large "Account Assistant" window
* NeoChat has a "Welcome to NeoChat" window with just a couple of UI elements and a *huge* amount of padding, it seems to be the same size as the Account Assistant window

So this may be, I dunno, a qt issue? Lil help? Screenshot of NeoChat added.

Comment 4 Neal Gompa 2024-02-08 16:23:54 UTC
According to Tobias Fella, there is no Cancel button to click in the first place?

Comment 5 Aoife Moloney 2024-02-15 23:08:41 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 40 development cycle.
Changing version to 40.

Comment 6 Adam Williamson 2024-03-02 01:06:48 UTC
This seems to be fixed for KMail and Kontakt in Plasma 6. Neochat still seems to be slightly oversize - https://openqa.fedoraproject.org/tests/2456722#step/konversation/2

Comment 7 Adam Williamson 2024-03-02 01:07:52 UTC
oh, and there *used* to be a cancel button. I guess it's gone now. Lukas tweaked the test to hit the close button instead.

Comment 8 Aoife Moloney 2025-04-25 10:13:27 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 40 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 40 on 2025-05-13.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a
'version' of '40'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora Linux version. Note that the version field may be hidden.
Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see it.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora Linux 40 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version
prior to this bug being closed.

Comment 9 Aoife Moloney 2025-05-16 07:49:58 UTC
Fedora Linux 40 entered end-of-life (EOL) status on 2025-05-13.

Fedora Linux 40 is no longer maintained, which means that it
will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we
are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora Linux
please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Note that the version
field may be hidden. Click the "Show advanced fields" button if you do not see
the version field.

If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against an
active release.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.

Neochat's still rather bigger than it needs to be, and bigger than the space available. https://openqa.fedoraproject.org/tests/3443025#step/neochat/1
