Description Samu Juvonen 2010-02-23 08:33:09 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.4.0)
Compiler:          gcc 4.4.3 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Archlinux Packages

Dolphin fails to display correctly filenames that end in some certain letters. It happens with every filename that is at least seven characters long. If the filename contains a hyphen and ends in a "bad character", then the filename is split after the hyphen and not just the last letter.

The described behaviour also occurs with some other characters, at least with capitals A and L (but not with capital S nor O, nor with lower-case letters a and l).

Some examples:

"thisisafileabcde" vs "thisisafile<break>A"
"thisisa-filea" vs "thisisa-<break>files"
"Pictures--backup" vs "Picture<break>s"

Text width is set to huge, but it does occur with all other text widths too. 
I noticed that if the filename is already longer than one line, then the last character will not produce a third line.

"The described behaviour also occurs with some other characters, at least with
capitals A and L (but not with capital S nor O, nor with lower-case letters a
and l)."

I meant to write it happens with at least lower-case 's' and with some others too.

Thanks for the report, but I'm quite surprised by this issue: I would get flamed if this bug would really occur in each environment, where filenames end with specific letters. Would it be possible that you zip a very small directory where the issue occurs and attach it to the bug report? It might be an encoding issue of your filenames, but I need an example to reproduce it...

There's also a screenshot of how it is displayed on my system.

Looks like a duplicate of bug 173647?
