Description Xiong Jiang 2004-01-05 19:42:36 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.1.94)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
Compiler:          Gcc 3 
OS:          Linux

This problem is found in KDevelop.  The menuitem Preferences/&Configure KDevelop... is a KStdAction item, and the text "&Configure KDevelop..." is composed from i18n string "&Configure %1..." and app name "KDevelop".

The text on status bar for this menu item is "Configure KDevelop" in en_US locale. It is generated by manipulating the i18n string "&Configure %1..." to "Configure %1".

In many other language this won't work. For example in zh_CN we translate "&Configure %1..." to "???? %1 (&C)". So the forged status text in KDevelop becomes "???? KDevelop (C)". This is not neat or consistent with other status text.

Suggestion: don't manipulate i18n string "&Configure %1...", add to generate status text. Simply adding another i18n string "Configure %1" for KStdAction status text would correct it.

beautifyToolTip() is a bad joke.

CVS commit by mattr: 

Don't use beautifyToolTip on the KStdAction for 'Configure KDevelop'.
This fixes bug 71926 but since it involves an i18n change, so i won't backport
unless told to. Please advise.
