I have a question regarding the minimum size of embedded documents.

Currently AFAIHS, the minimum is defined as widget->minimumSize() + 2 x 
borderwidth (which is 0 + 2 * 5).
So beside of the borders, there is no minimum.

This is a bit bad, as this "enables" the user to resize an embedded object to 
a width/height of 0.
When the user has done this and deactivated the object, the user will never be 
able to activate or delete it again. So the s/he will have a dead object, 
which s/he will never get rid of again.

So we should add here a minimum width, so the object can at least be 
activated/deleted again, or we need to provide a list of all embedded objects 
for the user to select one.

So what is here a reasonable size.
To make it easy to select, a size of 10 (10 pixels at 72dpi with 100% zoom) 
should be fine, but it may limit small embedded pictures. So I would suggest 
4 as the minimum.

So what do you think, or is it only a problem of KSpread here?

(I have a file from a user with this effect, a KChart in KSpread the user 
cannot select anymore).
