By default, Bugzilla does not search the list of RESOLVED bugs.
You can force it to do so by putting the upper-case word ALL in front of your search query, e.g.: ALL tdelibs
We recommend searching for bugs this way, as you may discover that your bug has already been resolved and fixed in a later release.

Description Darrell 2012-07-02 14:30:49 CDT 
Konqueror has a single check box in Settings to control file size displays:

Settings->Configure Konqueror->Appearance->Display file sizes in bytes. A decade ago when the current Konqueror was designed, gigabyte files were few. Today they are common.

The patch for bug report 756 provides a convenient way to monitor file sizes that are continually updating. The continual updating works great until a file reaches 1GB in size. Thereafter the user no longer notices the file size changing. At least not without waiting a while for each 0.1 GB increment.

One workaround is to enable the Settings control to display the file size in bytes. This allows watching a file size change when greater than 1GB but creates a somewhat awkwardly wide column.

A nice solution is to refine the existing control, thereby allowing users to see file size changes more readily. Perhaps convert the single check box to three radio buttons:

o Display file sizes in GB/MB/KB
o Display file sizes in MB/KB
o Display file sizes in bytes

Respective 'What's This' help:

* Checking this option will result in file sizes being displayed in bytes, kilobytes, megabytes, or gigabytes, as appropriate.

* Checking this option will result in file sizes being displayed in bytes, kilobytes, or megabytes. Files of one gigabyte or larger will still display as megabytes.

* Checking this option will result in file sizes being displayed in bytes.
