Toolbars are behaving strangely

[Rafael Fernández López]

Hi all,

I've debugging for some time this issue, but couldn't find out what's going 
on. Main problem is that if you set on "kcmshell4 fonts" the toolbar font to 
Verdana 8 Italic, you get on kwrite for instance a bigger font (it is 
Verdana, italic, but maybe 10). Fed up with this problem, I hardcoded the 
font on KToolBar and had exactly the same problem. The results of hard-coding 
to 7pts and 8pts are the ones at:

with patches:

http://media.ereslibre.es/2008/02/kdelibs-ktoolbar8pt.diff

Now if you check Konqueror you also get strange stuff behavior from KToolBar:

- Right click on the main toolbar
- Text Position => Text below Icons (or) Text next to Icons

The toolbar will just ignore you (if you set "Only text" you will see all 
strings cut off because of a lack of space [this reminds me what happens when 
you run umbrello nowadays with for instance Verdana 10 as main font]). When 
you try to drag the toolbar, it actually shows the strings you asked for.

Someone to give some light on this strange behaviors ?


Bye,
