konqueror loses navigation & url box

polgard · 06-17-2007, 10:29 AM

I have a strange problem with konqueror. If I open a second instance of konqueror, it loses the navigation icons (back, forward, and the box for a url address).

If I close the first instance, any subsequent konqueror window is without these icons, and the only way to recover is by shutting down & restarting kde.

I am using kde environment, open suse 10.2

Has anyone come across this or know what might be the cause?

Try pressing f11, if is just not showing those icons.

thanks for the reply, but
F11 just toggles between full screen, but doesn't restore the navigation icons.

Oh, I am sorry,it actually f9 thats brings the Navigation panel. But i think you are looking for Navigation icons and location bar. Please check your tool bar settings. I had once encounter this Navigation panel problem(it was not showing in new konqueror
instance ) but if the tool bar settings are ok then I am not sure what may be wrong.

thanks for your reply again, but f9 does nothing.
One thing I tried was in konqueror settings, by selecting the option to open folders in a new window, then the new window appears with the navigation icons - but no sidebar with the folder tree!!
Opening a new konqueror instance still lacks the icons - unless I restart the kde session. So, I'm still puzzled.
