[opensuse-kde] broken window behavior
When in 13.1m3/4.10.97 or 12.3/4.10.5 I close a session with Konsole left open as only app at 0,0 on new session start, Konsole appears at bottom of screen instead of top. Then when I drag it where it should have been in the first place, it acts as if I had double clicked the titlebar, maximizing the window instead of leaving it as it was. Are these new and expected behaviors? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive." Proverbs 16:21 (New Living Translation) Team OS/2 ** Reg.

Took a while to figure out where screen edges was hiding, not in window behavior, but in workspace behavior. :-p What an inane feature. Why should dragging any window to any screen edge have any effect on the window's size, or the inane misfeature prevent restoration of the window to its position at last session's end? Sheesh. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive." Proverbs 16:21 (New Living Translation) Team OS/2 ** Reg. Linux User #211409 ** a11y rocks!

Undoubtedly someone noticed in in windz7. I found it on my wife's machine and immediately disabled it as she would have gone crazzzy. She believes a computer should only do what she wishes whether she or the computer knows how, or not :^). -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org

Are the people living in Redmond some alien race? How do they dream up such nonsense? Maybe someone should round up any KDE developers living in that vicinity and migrate them to Nürnberg. ;-) -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

The best way to handle abundance of menus in desktop configuration is to discover Search (top, right) and use it as much as possible. It saves me time that would be wasted on browsing.

Heh, you didn't discover what else KDE can do for you with those screen edge features, or "features". For instance draging window until mouse cursor touches the edge on the left, or right and window will resize to take half screen width, and full or half height; top right edge (not corner) is half height at the top, middle of the screen is full height, bottom right is half height at the bottom. In other words, if you miss to notice preview shadow that appears when mouse touches the edge, you are about to be surprised when window changes its size, and be equally confused as I was when that happened first time. Later you may find it useful when you want to see two windows next to each other without overlap and much fuss, like right now writing email. -- Regards, Rajko. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org
