SUMMARY
Kirigami's About dialog/screen won't fully show the title. Probably related is that it's not correctly centered.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open the KDE Connect SMS app
2. Press "About"

OBSERVED RESULT
The text "SMS Instant Messaging 1.4.0" only shows "SMS Instant Messagin" (without ellipsis, just falling off screen).

EXPECTED RESULT
The text should show fully, be properly centered, and either wrap or show ellipsis.
Or the about screen should cover the whole application, like it does when the window is smaller. (It still doesn't properly center the text in that case though)

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

Kirigami version is actually 5.64.1 (not 5.64.0).

Will fix.

Bug is somewhere in here: https://cgit.kde.org/kirigami.git/tree/src/controls/AboutPage.qml#n125

Doing the obvious thing and adding an elide property isn't working; likely the layout thinks it's bigger than it is or something.

This won't happen anymore since we (almost) always open the about page in a new layer, can we close this?
Comment 4 Matthijs Tijink 2022-05-05 19:33:00 UTC
Yes, I don't see the issue any more, thanks for fixing!
