Description Maarten Wisse 2008-07-17 14:06:49 UTC 
Version:           2.0-SVN (using KDE 4.0.98)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
Compiler:          gcc 4.1.2 
OS:                Linux

Hopefully this reproduces it reliably with a snapshot from yesterday:

Have a track in your playlist with a very long artist title. here is one that triggers the bug:

Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra / Ton Koopman / Johannette Zomer en Bettina Pahn, sopraan. Bogna Bartosz, alt. Jörg Dürmüller, tenor. Klaus Mertens, bas.

All in one artist tag.

Double click on the track in the playlist when the window is of normal size.

Amarok's main window will resize to an enormously long window (screenshot attached, although that shows only the length, not the content of the whole window).

This window cannot be resized anymore.

In addition, with compositing enabled, the screen turns black, similar to the problem described in #166831. Escape does not help here, however. Disabling compositing effects brings back the contents of the main Amarok window. The music plays properly.

I can confirm this. Just happened to me as well.

Technical note: we need to use QFontmetrics::elidedText() here.
