Description Alexander Shaduri 2012-05-03 17:53:01 UTC 
Hello,

I noticed there are inconsistencies in tooltip texts of KDevelop's toolbar buttons. This makes the program look somewhat unprofessional (which is a shame, considering its features). Here are the ones I noticed:

Main toolbar:
"Execute current Launch" (variable capitalization).
"Debug current Launch" (variable capitalization).

Debugger toolbar:
"Continues the application execution" (should be "Continue application execution").
"Steps out of the current function" (should be "Step out of the current function").

Note that there is also an inconsistency regarding the style of capitalization (Sentence vs Title, see http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/Usability/HIG/Capitalization ). If I understand it correctly, the tooltips should use the sentence-style capitalization ("Pop-up hint text"). (GNOME HIG also dictates sentence-style for tooltips).
Either way, KDevelop uses both, so one should be converted to the other (e.g. "Build Selection", "Stop all currently running jobs" - both in the main toolbar).

Thanks
