--- Comment #5 from Dominik Haumann <dhaum...@kde.org> --- Could yo do a horizontal split screen and post a screenshot again? There are many aspects to this, and I have the feeling this is not thought through: 1. The statusbar comes from KTextEditor and the plugins from Kate. Merging this in a smart way is technically not a one-liner. Instead, it would require quite a lot of reengineering to make this properly work. 2. If you have several plugins enabled, there is no space for the entire statusbar anyways. 3. Currently, the concepts statusbar and plugins is nicely separated visually, maybe thats good and not bad? 4. Relayouting the plugins + statusbar depending on the available space in the QWidget world is very poorly supported and often leads to hacks and bugs. In QML this would be different, but we don't have QML here. 5. Changing layout also inherits some non-determinism which is not necessarily good for usability. As you see, the current discussion is not good enough in my opinion. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
