Git commit 112f375ec175e5aedfb58a3a3bf76535cc959575 by Méven Car, on behalf of Weinan Li. Committed on 12/09/2025 at 08:29. Pushed by meven into branch 'master'. informationpanel: use QTextEdit for filename display to avoid newlines in copied text QLabel does not support line wrapping at arbitrary positions. The original code achieved word wrap by manually adding newline characters to the text, which resulted in these newlines being included when the filename was selected and copied. This patch replaces QLabel with QTextEdit for filename display, leveraging QTextEdit's built-in word wrap functionality that handles line breaks purely for display without modifying the underlying text. This ensures copied filenames remain free of unintended newlines.

Created attachment 173781 [details] Showcase SUMMARY Dolphin 'Information Panel' applies word wrap for file name so copied name is word wrapped too. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Make a file with many words in it 2. Open "Information Panel" (F11) 3. Select that file 4. Shrink width of panel to see word wrap 5. Select and copy file name 6. Open any text editor 7. Paste word wrapped file name OBSERVED RESULT Now you can see it is word wrapped. So regularly it annoys me. EXPECTED RESULT Mo make it copy file name as if it was one string or simular to how I'd copied file name by Ctrl+Alt+C but without paths.
