Description Michaël Todorovic 2008-01-27 14:56:38 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.0.0)
Installed from:    Unlisted Binary Package
OS:                Linux

In KDE 4.0.0 installed with debian experimental packages on debian testing, the KMessageBox::error() word wraps sentences. I can't resize the message box to avoid word wrapping.

You can see the box here : http://images3.hiboox.com/images/0408/h9qdb6qi.jpg
and the code I use : 
KMessageBox::error(this, i18n("Applet %1 already running !", selectedItem->name()) );

Resizing the box or de-activating word-wrapping would be great !

SVN commit 767327 by uwolfer:

Do only enable automatic wrapping for messages which are longer than one third of the current screen width. Otherwise some very short messages are displayed in three or more lines; only one word per line in some cases. You can still force line breaks with \n.
