Description Markus Grob 2008-05-16 22:18:55 UTC

Version:           4.0.4 (using KDE 4.0.4)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:                Linux

If you choose personal invitation, the tooltipp for help and "how to choose a connection" is too long (picture will be given). The tooltipp for "more over invitations" is set right.

Comment 2 Ronny Standtke 2008-12-21 01:11:22 UTC

I have a similar issue, the help text "how to connect" in German contains no line breaks and therefore is not completele readable. I will attach a screenshot

Comment 4 Ronny Standtke 2009-01-15 13:04:47 UTC

This bug is still present in KDE-4.2rc1.

Comment 5 Ronny Standtke 2009-01-28 21:14:33 UTC

This bug is still present in KDE-4.2 final.

Comment 6 Michael Leupold 2009-09-12 14:25:22 UTC

I can reproduce on 4.3.1 as well.

Comment 7 George Goldberg 2009-09-12 14:49:02 UTC

I can't reproduce this with English KDE, which suggests it's probably a bug with the German translation. Reassigning appropriately.

Comment 10 Burkhard Lück 2009-09-24 11:45:56 UTC

This bug was fixed by the german team by adding some missing newlines to the 
translations.

But I think, that is not a proper solution for these long texts in QToolTip.
Consider a different screen resolution or size, greater font size for the 
tooltip text etc.
Then this will be displayed wrong even in english.

The attached patch for trunk seems to be a better fix for this bug, it uses 
richtext with a few <br> tags for new paragraphs for the tooltips, then the 
line breaks are automatically done by Qt - properly for each resolution/font 
size/language.
