Description basti 2005-08-31 16:13:16 UTC

Version:           3.4 (using KDE KDE 3.4.0)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:                Linux

When entering an address in Konqueror the text gets cuts off at the end during autocompletion. One can not see the actual choices of autocomplete. 
This is not a desired behavior. 

For Example:
If one enters in the user
/home/user/directory1/directory2/directory3/directory4
It might get cut off like this:
/home/user/directory1/directory2/direct...
/home/user/directory1/directory2/direct...
/home/user/directory1/directory2/direct...
/home/user/directory1/directory2/direct...

Furthermore the text is cut off even tough there is still space in the combobox.

Instead text from the middle can be deleted.
For example:
/home/user/.../directory3/directory4

elide completion entries in the middle

The completion list did show the URLs as right-elided entries,
which is not optimal.
For filenames and man pages at least middle-elide is much more sensible.
