When the tab width is changed (in the configuredialog) and the change is applied (by pressing Apply and keeping the dialog open), the change does not take effect. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start Konsole. 2. Create a directory and cd into it. 3. Create the empty file empty.cc 4. Create the file prov.cc with some content like this: float calculate_something(float const a, float const b, float const c) { return calculate_something(1.7, calculate_something(8.9, 19.51, 33.0), a) + calculate_something(c, 18.8, calculate_something(7.5, b, a)); } 5. Execute "diff -u empty.cc prov.cc|kompare -". 6. Open the settings dialog and change the tab width to 8 (or 4 if it was 8 before). 7. Press Apply. Actual Results: Nothing changes (not even when forcing a redraw by switching to another program and switching back to Kompare). Expected Results: The change of tab width is applied (and a redraw takes place). The change is applied if the configuredialog is closed (Ok or Cancel). It is also applied if the font is changed and Apply is pressed afterwards.
Thanks. Although I don't think it was really worth filling that bug here. Filling bug at bugs.kde.org was good enough. It is not critical enough so that we need to track it and backport patches instead of waiting for fix to appear in next patch release. And I can pretty much guarantee nobody will backport patches for non-core components (kdelibs, kwin, plasma, etc).
How about kde-4.5.4?
Still happens in KDE 4.5.4. It might work the first time, but changing the value again and pressing apply again, it does not update any more. So this might need some tries to reproduce. I do not expect bugs Kompare bugs to disappear from kde-base/kompare-4.5.1 to 4.5.4, since the installed Kompare still identifies itself as the same version (4.0.0). So only if something is caused by an underlying library, it might have been fixed.
How about kde-4.6.2?
No news on the upstream bug- could you please recheck if this still occurs with 4.7.2?
Tested it. Tab width is applied after pressing "Apply" and closing the preferences dialog with "OK". I see no reason track such an "Issue"
