Description tropikhajma 2010-08-15 23:56:18 UTC
Version:           1.2.3 (using KDE 4.4.3) 
OS:                Linux

When I have more than ~15 irc tabs open, they start to shrink and I can only see the first 3-4 letters of their names. I'd prefer the tabs to wrap around and crate a second line of tabs.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
open more than 15 channels

Actual Results:  
tab labels show only 3-4 characters

Expected Results:  
tabs wrap around and are completely legible

Sorry, but we use the tab widget offered by KDE's UI libraries (which in turn extends the one offered by Qt), which doesn't support this. And writing our own is not possible while making it compatible will all the UI styles out there, and would also be a bad idea for consistency and maintenance reasons.

In your situation I recommend you set tabs to be on the left, which will produce this and can fit many more tabs: http://konversation.kde.org/screenshots/konversation13_2.png
