Problem with sidebar sizes.

[Anders Lund]

 Hi,

There is a problem with the sidebars (mostly the right one) in the current
version (latest on archlinux, 5.2.0). They can not be rezised below a certain
width. This is a common problem with qt widgets afaik but it can be avoided -
and it worked in prior versions. On my screen, the space available for image
display becomes small to the point where it disturbs workflow and
functionality.

Kindly,
Anders

If I remember correctly, the combobox class of qt is causing these problems.
Never fill it with items before after finalizing the layout, or the with of the
items will force the widget to be too wide.

I have no idea, there are many sidebars. I can try to investigate.

And please take a screenshot when right one is identified.

Note : this can be relevant of translations. Try to switch digiKam in English to see if problem remain.
