when kate (using lsp client plugin) suggests a class or struct that has a long definition or a long description the code completion popup uses entire screen width which can be annoying.

1. on kate, make it suggests a long definition class (e.g std::copy) 

OBSERVED RESULT
code completion popup uses entire screen width.

EXPECTED RESULT
max code completion popup should be the application width.

A fix for this is up for review already. Hopefully we can fix this soon, it's terrible.

Some parts of that fix seemed to bit controversial, on the other side, perhaps at least some upper limit of the width would be a good start.
