Description dineshdevkota 2020-05-23 12:24:07 UTC

SUMMARY
the selection rectangle in the views mode is smaller than the selected text and makes some later part of the text unreadable.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Update to version 20.04.1 of dolphin in Archlinux
2. Use the details view in dolphin
3. Select a file or folder and observe the selection rectangle

OBSERVED RESULT
The details are not quite found out but it seems to do the same regardless of the size of the window.
Other view modes are not effected.
The effect was observed in the breeze light theme. Breeze dark has the same issue with selection rectangle but the letters are visible.

EXPECTED RESULT
The selection and the selected item are supposed to be of same length.

Fix selection rect after porting from QFontMetrics::width()

After porting from QFontMetrics::width() to QFontMetrics::boundigRect().width() in system/dolphin!10 we have a visual bug on selection rects, that can be seen on details and compact modes.

While from https://kdepepo.wordpress.com/2019/08/05/about-deprecation-of-qfontmetricswidth/ the use of `boundingRect()` would seem the right option to use (and I struggle to get the difference between the two methods when applied to a whole string and not a single char), in this case the `horizontalAdvance()` seems to return the value we need.
