Bug#403314: kdict docked in the vertical panel does not show input field
Package: kdict
Version: 4:3.5.5-3
I'm using Debian Etch and KDE. I can use kdict normally when launched
from command line (i.e., $ kdict). When kdict is docked on the panel as
an applet (i.e., right click on the panel -> Add Applet to Panel ->
Dictionary), the icon shows up on the panel. I can click on it to
activate the input for defining a word, but *the text is not displayed
as I type.* Once I finish typing the word and type enter, the window
pops up with the correct dictionary entry.
It seems the problem only occurs when the kdict is docked on the panel
which is configured vertically on left or right side of the desktop.
When the panel is placed at the top or the bottom of the desktop, the
kdict icon doesn't show up but the input field is always shown in the
panel. Since I'd like to place the panel vertically, I hope kdict works
in that configuration without the tiny glitch as well.
Thanks,
Taro
