Lateral panel randomly changes its size

[Gilvan Luiz Latreille]

Binary package hint: kdebase

Applicative: Dolphin file manager
Description: the lateral panel changes its size without the user intervenction.
Specific description: after configuring the panels: "Places", "Folders", and "Information" to a one single tabbed panel, the issue has appeared. The lateral panel always changes his width enlarging. No issues related to the height.
Sugestion for Dolphin: to add a feature that locks the size of the window and the size of the panels and widgets.

Gilvan:

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

I would be happy to reproduce the problem so I can confirm this bug but I am not 100% clear on what the problem is or how to reproduce it. Could you either write up some specific steps necessary to reproduce the problem or attach a video of the problem so we can at least see how to reproduce it?

Thank you!

Sounds more like something that upstream should handle. If this is still an issue with you in KDE 4.4, please consider filing a wishlist request at bugs.kde.org.
