Version: (using KDE 4.0.4) Installed from: SuSE RPMs Increase font size to 20 and observe what is happening, in KMEnu items cut in half, in Konq. text menu and shortcuts overlap, complete mess. If user wants big font, adjust the menu width accordingly.
Try to change style, eg Plastique, and see whether the problems are still there.
Visually it is not the same (*), but the problem still exists. (*) the shortcuts for example do not overlap, they are out of the menu completely.

SVN commit 959736 by cfeck: Fix broken menu layout with large menu fonts The AccelSpace was not set to a sane value, this was the reason for the believed metrics error. Also use the contents width to determine text width, since the font in the miOpt will not be font used for the item.
