I can't see any clipped text in the left side of that screenshot. What are you referring to? (In reply to Nate Graham from comment #1) > I can't see any clipped text in the left side of that screenshot. What are > you referring to? Take a look at LibreOffice/6.4.03$Linux_{X86_64} LibreOffice_pr{oject/}40$Build-3 Everything that's in the brackets {} got clipped in the left picture. Ah, I see now. Should every line that is elided get a '...' marker? Another alternative is to wrap everywhere, but that would cause new lines to start in the middle of words. > Should every line that is elided get a '...' marker? That'd be better than the current situation in my opinion.

That could probably be indicated by ↪ 8618 21AA RIGHTWARDS ARROW WITH HOOK ↳ 8627 21B3 DOWNWARDS ARROW WITH TIP RIGHTWARDS but I'm not sure if this really helpful or makes it more clear.

QLabel wraps at word boundaries, not arbitrary locations. In fact, it cannot even be configured to do so even if you want it to!
