Konqueror has large vertical gap between menubar and location toolbar

[David Taylor]

In Konqueror there is a KDE gears icon that becomes animated to the right of the toolbar however this icon causes an unneccessary gap between the toolbar and the address toolbar and just creates gray space that would be better used in the display of web-pages not to mention creating an unproffesional appearence.

A screenshot would be nice - thanks :)

In addition to a screenshot, what version of Kubuntu, KDE, and Konqueror? In Jaunty, the gear logo is on the same line as the menubar, not the toolbar, and there is no offcolored spacing issue.

I am unable to reproduce this problem. I have just gone to about 10 websites in Konqueror. Everytime the KDE icon animates as it should, but I am not seeing any extra grey space at all. This is with Karmic and 4.3 Beta 2.

Your Questions:

Kubuntu Version: 9.04
KDE Version: 4.2.3
Konqueror: 4.2.2

My mistake, yes it is to the right of the menubar, in KDE3 it was to the right of the toolbar and the spacing was correct at just 8 Pixels:

In the image I have attached at the top is Konqueror and I have coloured in the affected area with red (18 pixel gap an increase of 10 pixels wasted) and shown below it firefox which does a better job at 13 Pixels but still has room for improvement.

I hope this makes it clear enough, I don't have a copy of Karmic but hazard a guess as this report is of such a fine nature I doubt you would have noticed it before.

How come the hundredpaperkuts tag has been removed I logged this bug in response to: http://weblog.obso1337.org/2009/100-papercuts-and-kubuntu/ nothing major but I have logged 20-30 faults in the past to os projects never to see one fixed in response so thought this drive might be my chance.

 Thank you for bringing this bug to our attention. Unfortunately a paper cut should be a small usability issue that affects many people and is quick and easy to fix. I'm afraid this bug can't be addressed as part of this project.

Your bug seems to have been fixed in Karmic, But to get it solved in the present release , i would suggest you assign this report to the affected package.

 A paper cut is a minor usability annoyance that an average user would encounter on his/her first day of using a new installation of Ubuntu/Kubuntu 9.10.

 For further info about papercuts criteria , pls read > https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PaperCut

 Don't worry though, This bug has been marked as "invalid" ONLY in the papercuts project.
 For resolution of the bug, kindly identify the projects affected and assign the bug to that project, otherwise the devs of the concerned project might not be notified of this problem.

Seems fixed in KDE 4.3.
