Description Janet 2009-11-21 01:33:37 UTC
Version:           2.2.1 (using 4.3.2 (KDE 4.3.2), Debian packages)

The last played songs that are shown in the current song applet when no songs are played have overlapping text. Last playtime overlaps with the play score for some letters. I'll attach a screenshot.

Is this still valid in Amarok 2.2.2 or current git?
Comment 3 Janet 2010-02-08 05:10:20 UTC
Yes, still valid for 2.2.2.
Comment 4 Myriam Schweingruber 2010-02-08 10:03:48 UTC
Thank you for the feedback.
Comment 5 Myriam Schweingruber 2010-05-29 15:48:46 UTC
This should be solved in the upcoming Amarok 2.3.1, to be released next week. Please test and report back.
Comment 6 Myriam Schweingruber 2010-06-24 10:27:42 UTC
Closing for lack of feedback.
Comment 7 Janet 2010-06-24 12:38:33 UTC
Problem still exists in 2.3.1, doesn't look different from screenshot posted.

Screenie of the last played items

It’s been fixed to some extent in current git; there’s no overlapping text here except for the closing parenthesis (3rd item in the screenie), and the dots at the end of truncated labels overlap with the following item.
Comment 10 Janet 2010-08-29 15:49:55 UTC
Looking at your screenshot it doesn't seem to fixed: the "o" from "ago" still is covering the "S" from "Score". Did you try with another language e.g. German? And did you try with another font size? As you can see in my screenshot I use a bigger font size.

Maybe it would be better to completely get rid of the word "Score" in this view?

This should be fixed by this commit:

   Small current track applet refactoring.
   Much simpler logic for layout.
   Make it behave sensible when no image is given.
