Description S. Burmeister 2008-04-05 13:16:43 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.0.3)
OS:                Linux

If there is an issue with property-beahviour, (something like: you have tried to overwrite a file although you have set this way of overwriting to false before) the whole error-message is presented as one line which is far wider than the screen. At least in the German translation.

Side note: I never set any method of what overwriting method should be used or not before and I have no clue how a user should do that.

Comment 2 Marc Payne 2012-05-30 19:23:40 UTC

I can confirm this bug with the English language. Error message appeared when I copied a file in a webdav share and immediately tried to paste it in the same location.

Comment 3 Marc Payne 2015-04-20 06:25:09 UTC

I went ahead and dug through the kdelibs repo to find the particular error message string. It is in the file kdelibs/kioslave/http/http.cpp, line 1728, in the function QString HTTPProtocol::davError.

I don't have the time (or desire) to learn how this error message is ultimately displayed in a dialog box. The problem is simply that the text is not getting wrapped. If anyone wants a webdav server to test this on, please let me know and I will gladly set up a temporary user account.
