Text trunicated in Dolphin

[dotancohen]

Binary package hint: dolphin-kde4

On a brand new install of Kubuntu 8.10a3 with the default settings, Dolphin trunicates the botton of text in the information panel. See screenshot.

If not affected by default:
Kickoff -> System Settings -> Appearance -> Fonts -> Change 'Small' to bigger size (e.g. 16pt) -> apply and try again

I am starting to see this problem in many places in KDE 4.1. Should I add a screenshot of each one?

Thank you for filing this bug. I am unable to open your screenshot. Could you try attaching a new one?

[dotancohen (dotancohen)]

All I did was add the .png extension. Try it now. Thanks.

I consider this a significant accessibility issue => importance medium.

This report needs to be forwarded to http://bugs.kde.org

Dotan, please mention every application (and where in the application) this issue also appears. AFAIK the issue is caused by wrong GUI design. We will know more once the bug is forwarded to bugs.kde.org, if it is indeed a application-based GUI issue we need to do individual reports for all affected applications.

I cannot test other applications at the moment, sorry. I am on KDE 3.x and too busy to install KDE 4.x to test. But the bug is easily reproducible.

Apparently fixed in trunk. I think we can close this when KDE 4.1 beta2 is released in a few weeks.

Fix released to Jaunty and kubuntu-experimental.
