I mean to this window:



It's very small, then when I maximize It return to the original size ¬¬. It's imposible navigate files with a little window .

Any Suggestions?

Edit: I have KDE 4.2 and Firefox 3.05

Interestingly enough, I'm finding this happening from time to time with various applications (notably Firefox and Amarok).

It's only started happening in the last week or so, since I installed KDE4.2. But I'm not certain whether or not it's a 4.2 issue, as that was when I gave up on KDM and started using Compiz again.

If you're not using Compiz, that would seem to confirm it as a KDE4.2 issue. In fact, thinking about it, I think Firefox and Amarok both use Gtk, so it might be an issue with Gtk styles in 4.2, perhaps?

I do find that it comes and goes, so if I dismiss the dialogue when it appears like your screenshot, it quite often comes back right when I re-open it.

mmm amarok it's qt, not gtk....
But Eureka! Which amarok have you got? 1.4 or 2?

Because, I'm using gtk-qt3-engine (Default in suse 11.1) and if you have got amarok 1.4 (qt3) probably the problem is here, but i don't know really...

OOPS! Brain death struck. I actually meant Audacity, not Amarok.:-O
I think my mind started working towards an audio application starting with "A" and didn't get past Amarok.

As a penance, I will now go and use Gnome for a week

That doesn't look like KWin. I would say Compiz is not working correctly inside a KDE environment.

i haven't compiz. This IS kwin, witch transparency in windows decorations..

I do not know if Styles can manipulate windows. If they can, then try another style, and see if it is also affected.
