For some time now, whenever I open a PDF file with kpdf, its window appears only a few inches tall instead of the max height from when I have previously closed it. I have tried to use Advanced => Special Window Settings => Maximized vertically [force], but that doesn't work.
I've seen this, only with kpdf, since long. I found out that if you close kpdf with the navigation panel open then it will show this behaviour.
Thanks, Stefan. I usually open the navigation panel before closing the window because if I don't it resets the nav panel width for thumbnail views, while I prefer the Table of Content view, which needs to be wider. It's strange to me that the navigation panel's settings aren't remembered between sessions, and that it's being open should affect the window height.
Yes, it is! ;-)
I haven't discovered the navigation panel's forgetfulness, yet, but it surely should remember its settings. We need to write a bugreport to make it better…
All in all, to me kpdf, though the only, and very often used pdf viewer I utilise, seems to be rather immature. It serves it purpose, though, and I like the auto scroll function while reading longer texts.
I also noticed that kpdf consumes very much processing power from the cpu when the auto sroll feature is being used.
Cheers, Stefan
