Description Lukas 2009-07-24 15:07:57 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.2.98)

The problem, is that text below icons in tool bars sometimes became too long. In some cases this is a problem in translation, but sometimes it is impossible to translate correctly in shorter than 3 words text.

If text is longer than width of icon, button gets extended. If it is just a 10px the is no problem, but is some cases it became 4-5 times wider when with captions compared to icon-only mode. 

Yes you can use icon only mode, but sometimes there are no (not yet) icon, so this makes icons only mode unacceptable for me and I guess many other users.  



::Solution::
Allow to edit and rename captions, so user could shorten them. Even if new caption makes sense to that user only. (just like we can change icon)
It would be great if on hover original caption would be shown.

My wish is to be able edit captions like we can change icons.

Contacting to Kopete teem is not the way to solve this out, since same situation is possible in ANY toolbar in kde app.

A temporary solution is to edit translation files manually, but this way I end up in e.g. 3 identical buttons "Edit.." that are doing entirely different things.


It is more kdelibs or QT (I don't know which one is responsible for creating toolbars) question rather than i18n.
