Description Andrey 2010-02-25 20:32:43 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.4.0)
Installed from:    openSUSE RPMs

Dolphin / Konqueror displays files names incorrectly if they contain some 'problem' symbol combination.

I tried to shorten 'problem' combinations as much, as I can). Please note that case of the letters is important!

(1)
Create a file with a name "-T". 
Result: 
"-T" becomes "" (literally _no characters_ is displayed, file name is empty)

You can ad this "-T" (note that T is uppercase!) to pretty much any file name and it will result name distortion:
"-Ti" becomes "..."
"Mamma_mia-T" becomes "Mamma_mi..."
"deoxyribonucleic-T" -> "deoxyribonuclei..."
"-Tastes_good" -> "-Tastes_go..."
"apple-Tastes_good" -> "apple-Tastes_go..."

(2)
"-Y" acts the same way as "-T"

I tried other capital characters as well as lower case letter from the English alphabet, but they seem to be fine. Though, I am still not sure, whether there are more 'bad' combinations. As you can guess, doing this kind of research _manually_ is definitely not fun, so maybe I missed some combinations...

Konqueror displays folder named "Mamma_mia-T"

As you can see on the screenshot, tooltip displays correct file name.

Is your problem really fixed in more recent versions (like bug 230339)?
If you can still reproduce the problem, a screenshot of your font settings
(in the System Settings) might help because I can't reproduce the bug, and
these things are strongly font-sensitive. Thanks.

I do not see any problems on KDE 4.5.0.

So, I suppose, it is fixed.
