Intrepid: Akregator: Can't see the news' "description"

[Edmundo]

Binary package hint: akregator

When I use "Normal View" or "Panoramic View", when I select a source or "directory of sources", instead of seeing the list of news that make up that source (or sources) I only get to see the overview of the "news source". In the old days, I had two panes, when I selected a source or sources directory on the upper pane I could see the list of news that were inside the selected source/directory and in the lower pane I could see the overview of the selected news from the upper pane. That was still possible to see after I dist-upgraded to intrepid two days ago. The bug started happening after a update/upgrade cycle yesterday.

I'm not quite clear what you mean here. If I run akregator in a clean install of Kubuntu Intrepid Alpha6 then I see the same 3 panel view I've always seen. I've attached screenshots of the 3 alternative views the akregator offers. Intrepid is running in a VM hence the small window. If I understand correctly you are saying that you do not see the 'Description' in the bottom right of the 3 panels.

Could you explain a bit further how what you see differs from these. If possible a screenshot of what you do see would be good. Then we can try to reproduce the problem and see what causes it.

Delete the akregatorrc in ~/.kde/share/config , worked for me.

Worked for me too.

This is the akregatorrc I had when I was having the problem.

@Technowizard, @Edmundo

Thanks for your input. I think I've found the problem section in the akregatorrc file. The format of this file has changed a little since you reported this bug. There has been a second report of this issue which more closely follows the current form of the akregatorrc file. I'm going to mark this bug as a duplicate of bug 275596 and we can work on the issue there.

Thanks
