Screenshot of the bug

The areas where the tweets are blank were removed by me, as they are friends who have protected updates.

version #s?
Comment 3 Brian Pritchett 2009-01-18 23:59:46 UTC
I'm using 4.2 RC1 provided by the kubuntu repositories described at: http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-4.2-rc1 (for intrepid).

@Brian: I'm using this plasmoid daily, but I've not seen anything similar recently. Are you still having this issue on more recent KDE version?
Comment 6 Matt Whitlock 2009-04-27 06:07:05 UTC
This bug still exists in KDE 4.2.2.  I was just hit by it.  For what it's worth, here are some observations:
 * Two tweets came in in a single update, replacing the two tweets that were shown in the widget previously.
 * The widget had to expand vertically to fit the new tweets.
 * The first tweet (top) is fine.
 * The second tweet (bottom) has its user name blasted onto 6 lines:
w
hi
ts
la
c
k
 * The second tweet begins with a URL link.
 * The second tweet was posted through KDE Twitter, so there's also a link where it says "from KDE Twitter".

Not sure if any of that is related to this bug.  Hope it helps.
Comment 7 Aaron J. Seigo 2009-04-27 11:06:32 UTC
yes, this bug is still there in 4.2, but not in 4.3.

Comment 9 Aaron J. Seigo 2009-05-01 18:14:47 UTC
Finex: because the widget is not wide enough, perhaps? it's trying to find a way to positiong the text the best it can ...
Comment 10 FiNeX 2009-05-01 18:21:49 UTC
I've tried to enlarge it... I'll keep you informed, thanks :-)
Comment 11 FiNeX 2009-05-01 18:48:46 UTC
@Aaron: yes, you're right.
