Hi,

I'm the current QtCurve maintainer and here is what I have figured out
about the bug now.

Both of them are because the application is using the minimum size of the 
scrollbar as the size of the box and therefore for a narrow scrollbar which had 
a small minimum size the size of the box is also small.
For choqok, it is currently workarounded in QtCurve by setting a lower limit of 
the minimum length but this should still be fixed in choqok since it WILL break 
even in oxygen if the user has a bigger font than the default one.
For kontact, the same workaround fixes the problem for that user since he is 
also using a narrow sidebar which is thinner than the lower limit of scrollbar 
in QtCurve right now. However, for a wider sidebar (e.g. the default one with 
big icon and text) even more than half of the Qt default themes have the same 
problem. It makes no sence to rely on the scrollbar size in kontact since it is 
definitely using some other way to calculate the size and the problem should be 
fixed in kontact.

More info can be found in the kde bug reports pointed out by the
original reporter as well as the QtCurve bug report here[1]. The
workaround can be found in that bug report or here[2]. This patch will
be included in the coming QtCurve release (the should be one in at most
2 month, likely even earlier.)

Please close this bug or assign it to Choqok and Kontact.

Thanks.
