Ellipses are intentional at this point in time. We used to fade in Qt 4 times and it caused no end of bugs due to the hugely more complex code requires to make it work everywhere. If we did it just in the Task Manager, we'd get bug reports that this was inconsistent, and they'd be right. :) |
Created attachment 155654 [details] comparison of fade and ellipsis When a window's title is too long and overflows its space in the Task Manager, an ellipsis is placed at the end of the text. However, these ellipses take space and cut the titles to be very short. We would see more of the text if too-long titles were faded instead, as is done with Firefox and Chrome's tabs.
