           Summary: appearing windows shouldn't be maximized by default
                    (e.g. file open dialogs)
           Product: kate
           Version: 2.3.1
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kwrite-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: Wolfram.R.Sieber GMail com


Version:           2.3.1 (using KDE 3.3.2,  (3.1))
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.5 (Debian 1:3.3.5-6)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.4.22-xfs

Well, this is a bit complicated. Say, you have a main window and a dialog box, for \
example a file open dialog (compare to bug #98250). This box is maximized by default.

If the main window contains some important piece of data you need in the pop up \
window you have to move around the latter one. But since that is so big, moving \
around it, causes to move important parts of that box out of the screen/desktop area. \
Then it is unreachable by mouse and you have to move it in later. Or you have to \
close the dialog in between.

Therefore having such big dialog boxes by default causes some twiddling, making the \
normally simple action more complicated than neccessary.

If the window would leave some space around it, the user could just move it without \
the trouble to re-move it later again to get the clickable dialog elements into reach \
again. _______________________________________________
