I'm noticing a strange behaviour. When I contract a node in the
outline pane, the main app frame changes its size.
Strange facts:
- it happens randomly, not always
- it doesn't happen when I expand nodes, only when I contract them

I'm running leo-qt with empty HOME env variable. This means that I've
excluded a possible impact of some user-specific settings and leo runs
with default settings.

It could be a matter of bad interaction between qt and the window
manager (I'm using fluxbox and unfortunately I don't have another WM
option to test leo-qt with it).

This is a low-priority minor itch and probably is not worth to be
examined now, unless other people with other OS/software setups will
notice this strange behaviour as well.

Never heard of fluxbox. It's not likely a Leo problem. If you care,
I would contact the Qt people, but you would likely be wise to
eliminate the Leo part entirely by creating a minimal app that
illustrates the problem.

I have very hard time believing it's a Qt problem (it would have been
caught by now, with all the kde4 programs using it).

This may be debuggable by trying to catch a signal that occurs on
window position change.
