Description Kai Uwe Broulik 2012-06-12 18:03:39 UTC

The new Places panel does not truncate item names and shows a horizontal scrollbar instead which looks bad. Especially in German where the "Home" folder is named "Persönlicher Ordner" you always end up with a horizontal scrollbar unless you want to waste  lot of space for the Places panel

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use German locale :P
2. Resize the Places panel smaller so you get "Persönlich" (or so) shown
3.
Actual Results:  
The panel will get horizontal scrollbars

Expected Results:  
The text is truncated to "Persönlich..."

I'd prefer no scrollbars, no truncation and bigger icons to fill the space so that it doesn't look wasted ;).

Same thing for the english version which in KDE SC 4.9 (Dolphin 2.1) now includes Recently Accessed and Search for. The default size fits for the Places part of the side panel but not for the other items. That looks really bad and i have to resize the panel upon every start up. Dolphin does not remember the size of the places panel. Where can i set a fixed size for the panel that Dolphins remembers upon every start up? Or is it a bug? Should i file a bug report for that?

Remembering the panel size works for me. 

> Where can i set a fixed size for the panel that Dolphins remembers upon every start up? 
Just resize the panel, settings are automatically saved when you close Dolphin.
