Bug Description

Binary package hint: kdeedu

KTouch's Color scheme editor is too tall for netbooks, which typically have vertical resolutions of 576 or 600, to say nothing of the panel. In version 4:4.3.2-0ubuntu1, the dialog is about 560x670.

To reproduce:
 1) Applications->Education->KTouch
 2) File->Edit Color Scheme...

I will attach a debdiff with a patch by Ying-Chun Liu to make the dialog wider by using a 3-column layout rather than 2-column. I will file a bug upstream too, but bugs.kde.org is having technical difficulties right now.

I wish they would fix this problem across the board, but it affects so much more than a color editor. The entire program of kmplot is bigger than 600 pixels on the y axis and refuses to shrink. Plus a number of other apps..

Hi there!

Thanks for reporting this bug! Your bug seems to be a problem with the KDE program itself, and not with our KDE packages. But don't worry! This issue is being tracked by the KDE developers at: http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=233427
Once fixed in KDE, it will be included in Kubuntu once the KDE version the fix is in in reaches Kubuntu.

Thanks!
