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.
Now the main kmail window is starting to do the same thing. What's causing
this, and how can I fix it?

Sounds like something is eating your config files/settings? You can check
that by using find with a time ago setting:
cd /home
find michael -newermt $(date +%Y-%m-%d -d '1 day ago') -type f -iname
"*.html"
Try updating a special window setting and change the above to check every file
for say 5 seconds ago to see where it got stored. Make a copy of it, then
check it again after it gets 'broken.'
Not the complete solution, but should help some.
Best,
Michael

I'll give that a try, but it seems unlikely, because none of my
customizations of either kpdf or kmail have disappeared.

Sorry for the double post; I thought the first one had been accidentally
discarded.

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.
If you close the navigation panel before you close kpdf it will open as
exspected.

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.

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

In /home/..../.trinity/share/config/kpdfrc look for
[MainWindow]
Height 1200=1200
Width 1920=950
and adjust the values after the = to your liking.
If I remember right, this should be done with no TDE active, as the
stopping of the desktop could or even does overwrite your setting.
Regards.
