Version: (using KDE 4.3.0) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages Please add an option to have long text in tree items wrap, as opposed to a horizontal scrollbar appearing. Thanks.
Here's a screenshot illustrating the problem that you have to use the horizontal scrollbar of the tree to see the full node names: http://stefan.endrullis.de/kde/system-settings-bug.png
@Dotan: is your wish specific for systemsettings?
> is your wish specific for systemsettings? No, it would be nice to have this in all KDE or Qt apps.
Moved to kdelibs
GTK apps use ellipsis to show that there is more content off-screen.
> GTK apps use ellipsis to show that there is more content off-screen. That is also possible with Qt/KDE. In fact we had bugs about people complaining that it just shows the "..." ellipses, but no scrollbar appeared (see bug 208714). Out of all the possible solutions (scrolling, eliding, wrapping, scaling, or just resizing the view) the application developer has to choose. That is nothing that can be fixed or decided in KDE. In fact, most tree or list views are plain Qt widgets, so there is nothing KDE could add or change there. If you see an application which clearly uses the wrong solution, please file a bug or an enhancement request for that application.
