Description Federico Zenith 2005-07-12 08:16:40 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.4.1)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
OS:                Linux

The Image tab in the  Settings->Configure KMail->Identity->Modify dialog is probably sized for English. The  Italian message is somewhat longer, and uses three lines instead of two.

Expected behaviour: the dialog should resize according to the actual size of the string.

Actual behaviour: the dialog allows only two lines, not indicating there are any others, showing a only a partial text. See: http://zenith.nt.ntnu.no/images/kmail-bug.png

Workarounds: the dialog can be resized to make the rest of the text appear. See: http://zenith.nt.ntnu.no/images/kmail-correct.png

Reproducible: always. Take e.g. Italian translation as exemplified. It is expected this problem will present in any language where this message is longer than in English.

Suggested solution: the minimum vertical size of the dialog should take the size of the translated string into account, instead of the original English.

The links to the images are not valid anymore. Anyway, for it looks as if there is enough room now.
