Whenever I toggle on split view in Dolphin, the information bar on the right suddenly jumps up to take about 1/3 of the screen. Why is this and is there a way to make it stop?

Re: D3lphin split view resizes info bar
Yeah I hate this. It seems to be isolated to the KDE3 version of Dolphin. I'm in KDE4 right now and am not experiencing this annoyance. I have not tried a non Kubuntu KDE3 version of Dolphin so I'm not sure who is to blame for this issue, KDE group? or old Kubuntu packages? -

I have the same problem with D3lphin, which also seems to disappear in KDE4.Weaseling out of things is important to learn. It's what separates us from the animals ... except the weasel.Comment

I'm not following, but it may be because of KDE 4. What "information bar on the right" -- I don't seem to have such a thing.Originally posted by Rocket Slug

Simply press 'F9' to toggle the right info bar closed. 'F8' will toggle the left info bar.

But I don't want it to go away. I just want it to stop taking up so much screen real estate when I turn on Split View.Originally posted by monte48lowesComment

Re: D3lphin split view resizes info bar
mehhh -- I wonder who pushed my F9?
No wonder I couldn't see it.
@Rocket, I wonder what would happen if you have it adjusted perfectly, and then shutdown and restart your system. Some things get "remembered on restart" -- I don't personally know whether the D3lphin screen is one of them or not, but it would be easy enough to try it.

Yeah Dible, you have the right idea but you have to set d3lphin to start in split view in the configuration after you have set it up the way you want.HP Pavilion dv6 core i7 (Main)

Re: D3lphin split view resizes info bar
This is one of the main reasons why i closed my affair with dolphin and went back to konqueror. Right now it does everything better.

Re: D3lphin split view resizes info bar
So right now there's no fix for it? Did someone file a bug? This was a problem in Gutsy too, I really like the split view but it's annoying to have to resize the info bar (which I want left on) each time.

Looks like they know Dolphin has some issues but don't have anyone actively working on fixing them.Comment
