Description bob53181 2013-10-18 15:11:40 UTC

Dolphin unnecessarily truncates names of symbolic links in compact mode while keeping names of other files non-truncated.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Switch Dolphin view to compact
2. Create a file
3. Create symbolic link to this file
Actual Results:  
The symlink gets truncated while the file does not.

Expected Results:  
The files and the symlinks should be truncated to the same width.

This is similar to [this bug](https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=183620)
I am using Fedora 19, kde-workspace-4.11.2-1, qt-4.8.5-10

This is a screenshot of my font settings - maybe that makes it reproducible more easily (as suggested by Frank Reininghaus).

Comment 2 Frank Reininghaus 2013-10-18 17:33:02 UTC

Thanks for the report! I could reproduce the problem now.

The problem is in the function

KStandardItemListWidgetInformant::itemSizeHint(int index, const KItemListView* view),

which calculates the width that an item in Compact View requires. It calculates how many pixels the file name would require if it was not italic, but the width for the italic version may be slightly higher. When the view tries to render the text on the screen, it finds that the pre-calculated width is insufficient, and elides the name.
