Version: 4.0.4 (using KDE 4.0.4) Installed from: SuSE RPMs OS: Linux If you choose personal invitation, the tooltipp for help and "how to choose a connection" is too long (picture will be given). The tooltipp for "more over invitations" is set right.

I have a similar issue, the help text "how to connect" in German contains no line breaks and therefore is not completele readable. I will attach a screenshot

This bug is still present in KDE-4.2rc1.
This bug is still present in KDE-4.2 final.
I can reproduce on 4.3.1 as well.
I can't reproduce this with English KDE, which suggests it's probably a bug with the German translation. Reassigning appropriately.

SVN commit 1022804 by schwarzer: add some newlines to avoid the tooltip exceeding the screen limit This is now fixed in trunk and 4.3.x. Thanks for the reports. CCBUG: 162185 M +10 -10 krfb.po WebSVN link: http://websvn.kde.org/?view=rev&revision=1022804
This bug was fixed by the german team by adding some missing newlines to the translations. But I think, that is not a proper solution for these long texts in QToolTip. Consider a different screen resolution or size, greater font size for the tooltip text etc. Then this will be displayed wrong even in english. The attached patch for trunk seems to be a better fix for this bug, it uses richtext with a few <br> tags for new paragraphs for the tooltips, then the line breaks are automatically done by Qt - properly for each resolution/font size/language.
