Description Miikka Salminen 2008-10-25 19:20:40 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.1.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

Most of the different fields in system settings are either far too long or far too short in size.

E.g. there are text fields which contain one number for example, but the field is hundreds of pixels wide, which makes it look somewhat stupid, since the user isn't going to enter numbers that long. Examples of such fields can be found at Regional & Language->Money.

On the other hand, most of the topic bars are too short for the text in the underlying entries to be fully shown.

The text fields could use a fixed size (that is, a short one) and the topic bars could adjust automatically according to the window size.
