Description Frederik Schwarzer 2006-06-10 11:44:33 UTC 
Version:           3.5.2 (using KDE KDE 3.5.3)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
OS:                Linux

I saw this problem in some games so I think it's caused by this library.
Sorry if I'm wrong.
E.g. in kmines I have the highscore stuff where I can fill in my name. At thas position there already was my full name filled in. After I edited it, I could not type more than 16 characters anymore.
So it imported all 18 characters from my full name (propably from kmail?) but the input field does not take as much when typing it manually.

I can confirm this: Names are cut to 16 characters in KDE 3.
However: we don't have this limitation in KDE 4 (in the SVN).

Well, good to hear. :)
I do not know how to handle this report now.
Do you guys plan to fix it in kde3?
I think it would be a bit of a waste of manpower.
Anyway, I leave you the decision what to do with this report. :)

Close as wontfix.
The problem doesn't exist in KDE4.0 anymore and the KDE3.5 version will not receive such changes.
