Schedules/KDE4/4.0 Upstream Issues

{{{3}}}

 

Listed below are various upstream issues that are considered release critical problems. This is not a bug tracker or meant to supplant one, but to keep a running tally of open upstream issues we need to address for KDE4 releases.
Upstream Issues HotList

Qt4

• Problem: CSS currently resets fonts in widgets when used, making it very difficult to use with widgets where fonts are set programmatically as done throughout KDE.
  • Affects: All widgets using CSS, such as the Konqueror location bar when using CSS to set an offset for the clear button.
  • Solution: Pending; perhaps a CSS value (font: QWidget?) that prevents the style sheet from resetting fonts outside of what the widget is doing. Can be done currently on a case-by-case basis by overriding changeEvent, intercepting font changes and updating CSS strings containing the font desired; this is error prone (easy to trigger infinite loops) and seems sub-optimal.
  • Status: Pending upstream notification.

• Problem: Designer converts WhatsThis text to richtext blocks
  • Affects: translators who get opaque blocks of html code
  • Solution: None yet
  • Status: Pending
  • Upstream tracker link

Xine

• Problem: short Oggs are not played properly
  • Affects: Phonon playing short sounds, therefore all audio notification in KDE
  • Solution: Patch being worked on by Matthias Kretz, needs to be upstreamed to libxine
  • Status: Pending patch completion and approval
