Screenshot of the issue.

SUMMARY

The window to download new widgets for the Plasmashell can be resized. However, if shrinked too much in width, it may happen that the description text, name etc.simply become cut off.  

Either it should have a minimum width or the text should move under the screenshot depending on the size.

Please see the screenshot.

This is the old dialog; we're in the process of porting everything to a fancy new QML-based dialog that doesn't have this problem. Let's focus on that one if possible! :)

When is the new QML based dialog expected to see in the wild? With which update?
Comment 5 Nate Graham 2020-01-14 19:10:50 UTC
Plasma 5.18, which will be released in a month!
Comment 6 Christoph Feck 2020-01-14 19:43:57 UTC
I think the dialog is part of the knewstuff framework. Is the QML-based dialog released separately in Plasma as a plugin to replace the standard dialog?
Comment 7 Nate Graham 2020-01-14 19:49:42 UTC
No, it's also in the KNewStuff framework, alongside the old QWidgets one.
