Version: (using KDE 3.5.8) Installed from: Fedora RPMs Description of problem: I'm writing a KFile plugin for kde 3.5 and discovered that long text in a metadata field is not wrapped by the kde file properties dialog. This bug is usually not triggered because most metadata items with KFileMimeTypeInfo::Description are editable comment fields and so use the multi-line editbox. How reproducible: View long text in meta-data tab in right-click properties dialog from konqueror/dolphin. Actual results: Horizontal scroll bar. Expected results: Wrapped text. Additional Info: I had some trouble finding a test case - I can't think of any existing mime-types with read-only description fields or long metadata offhand. I notice there's no kfile plugins for .rpm (or other package types) in kde3.5, maybe there's something in kde4/strigi? Something that should work as a text case would be a .pdf file with a long "Summary" metadata field (but I couldn't create one within a couple of minutes in kword. I'll have another go at a later time, if you don't have any better ideas.)
Created attachment 23397 [details] Untested diff provided by dfaure in irc Here's a possible solution proposed by you on #kde earlier this week. I don't know if the KFileMimeTypeInfo::Multiline flag should be re-used for this.
Has this been already addressed or do you have the same problem in KDE 4?
