Comment 26 for bug 344522

Another "me too" comment.

I use most konsoles with the standard 80x24 size. However, in some circumstances, I make some of them bigger (for instance while browsing log files with extra-long lines). That doesn't mean that from then on I want *all* my konsoles to be huge. Now, I constantly am resizing my konsoles to make them small (normal-sized) again. Why can't we get back the previous KDE 3.5 behavior? The thing I really liked in KDE 3.5 was the Settings->Size menu, which proposed not one, but _several_ standard size (40x15 (Small), 80x24 (Vt100), 80x25 (IBM PC), 80x40 (xterm), ..). Really handy for the odd curses-based app that works on 80x25, and _only_ on 80x25 (there's an SNMP client that behaves like that).

For me this is one of the issues that has kept me with KDE 3.5 (...and Kubuntu 8.04). KDE 4.x was plagued with lots of these, and distributions (Kubuntu 8.10, Fedora 9) jumped onto the KDE4 bandwagon _way_ too early, giving it a bad rap. As a Beta, KDE 4.0 and KDE 4.1 were fine, but not for day-to-day work. Too many missing features (that were present in 3.5) and glitches to be bundled as the default in a distribution.

KDE 4.2 is mostly usable, but this one issue is still present in 4.2 and is a show stopper.
