A screenshot of the issue

SUMMARY
Release notes for certain software can overlap into the scrollbar area.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Be running openSUSE Tumbleweed when an update for system package "yazi" is available
2. Run Discover
3. Click Updates
4. Click on System upgrade to expand it
5. Click on More Information
6. Scroll down to see "yazi"

OBSERVED RESULT
The release notes for yazi overlap into the scrollbar.

EXPECTED RESULT
The release notes for yazi do not overlap into the scrollbar - e.g. they should word wrap (ideally), or horizontal scrolling should be enabled, or each line should be elided before hitting the scrollbar.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20251228
KDE Plasma Version: 6.5.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.21.0
Qt Version: 6.10.1
Kernel Version: 6.18.2-1-default (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: X11

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
It's possible that the release notes format for "yazi" is not in a good format. The source for the text is at https://build.opensuse.org/projects/openSUSE:Factory/packages/yazi/files/yazi.spec?expand=1 I think. It looks like the indented part is being treated as pre-formatted text. Nonetheless, I would expect Discover to handle this strange input in a better way (ideally wrapping it), and certainly not printing the text over the scrollbar area.

Yep, this is definitely a problem with the source formatting.

Discover can do a better job of handling it, though.

Comment 2 John Veness 2026-01-08 20:47:42 UTC

Yeah, it seems to me that at the very least (i.e. even if it just gets chopped off) it shouldn't be drawn over the scrollbar. I didn't even think that was possible!
