            Bug ID: 427315
           Summary: Kontact increases window's width when viewing certain
                    mails
           Product: kontact
           Version: 5.14.1
          Platform: Debian testing
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: NOR
         Component: mail
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: pat_h at web.de
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
My Kontact window's width is most of the time 960 px. However, being in the
mail component and selecting certain e-mails for viewing, Kontact increases the
window automatically to 1070 px. This is annoying, as the window then overlaps
partially with the window of the right half of my screen.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Use a resolution with a width of less than 2140 px (this is an assumption, I
couldn't test that this is necessary)
2. Open Kontact in the mail view
3. Put it on the left half of the screen, put there with kwin's half-of-screen
feature, as with normal window sizing you can't get it below 1070 px (I assume
this is the root-cause of the bug!)
4. Select different e-mails, especially mails with long header entries (mail
summary, long sender or multiple recipients)

OBSERVED RESULT
The window size gets increased to 1070 px when using Kontact.
However, using the geometrically identical setup with Kmail, the window size is
not changed when viewing the same e-mails.

EXPECTED RESULT
The window width is not changed by viewing e-mails in Kontact (as it is already
the case with Kmail).
The window can be sized with normal window sizing below a width of 1070 px (as
it is already the case with Kmail).

Interestingly, I have not been able to enforce the maximum window width with
Kwin window rules. Should I fill a separate bug for that one or is that the
intended behavior in this case?
