Kubuntu Netbook plasma in the newspaper are won't allow Facebook widget resize

[Efrain Valles]

Binary package hint: plasma-netbook

The Kubuntu Netbook Plasma installs the Facebook Plasmoid but it sets a default size that is too smail and it doesn't allow a resize. This makes the plasmoid difficult to read.

Steps to reproduce:

1) add the Facebook plasmoid to the newspaper area.
2) notice how the sizeof the widget is too small to be fully readable.
3) trying to resize is not allowed.

What should happen:

a) the Facebook plasmoid should have a fixed size that allows it to be read easily.
b) the plasmoid should be resizable.

Thank you for locating this. There has been a fix from the widget side of things. It has been uploaded to www.kde-look.org.

This should solve the issues with Facebook.

Thanks for checking on this. We don't mark bugs as fix released until the fix is in the Ubuntu development series. When it's fix upstream, but not yet here, fix commited is the appropriate status.
