Description Jonathan Stickel 2011-01-21 16:39:55 UTC

Created attachment 56296 [details]
screenshot

Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.5.5) 
OS:                OS X

File names are truncated at seemingly randomly lengths for the details view even though there is sufficient column width.  I will attach a screenshot.  I installed kdebase-4.5.5 via Macports without doing anything special.  The problem is similar to bug 178517, but as far as I can tell the oxygen widgets (default) are being used.  This is for Mac OS X, 10.6.6, with Macports compiling 64 bit.

Reproducible: Always

Thanks for the bug report! Looks a bit like bug 251121, but that is fixed in 4.5.5. Could you tell us what the correct names of the files in your screenshot are?

This kind of bug is usually quite sensitive to the font settings, and it might be difficult to reproduce your font settings here on a Linux system. But nevertheless, it might help if you could provide a screenshot of your font settings which are used for KDE. If you've specified a user-defined font in the Dolphin Settings (Configure Dolphin -> View Modes -> Details), please also tell us which one it is.

Thanks!

In the original screenshot, the font setting for the details view mode was "System Font".  Apparently, this is Lucida Grande because that is what first appears when I select "Custom Font" and click "Choose" (see 3rd attachment).  I have tried all kinds of other fonts and font sizes and the name truncation is identical to what is shown.

Thanks for the quick reply. I don't have the "Lucida Grande" font here, but if you get the same problem with other fonts, it looks like it's some other kind of Mac-specific Dolphin problem. Unfortunately, I can't do much because I can't reproduce the bug, but maybe someone else has an idea.

Comment 6 Jonathan Stickel 2011-01-21 23:44:25 UTC

Right, I was thinking it has something to do with being installed on Mac OS X.  With Macports, KDE is compiled against "qt4-mac" which uses Mac's Cocoa rather than X11 for the graphics service.  I first posted to the macports email list and the Mac specific KDE forum before reporting the bug here, but no suggestions so far.
