days do not fit in given width

Version:           unspecified (using Devel) 
OS:                Linux

When I choose accuweather as a source, I get a 10 days preview, what is nice, but it does not fit in the given width, see attachment.

I propose to
a) make the width of the widget flexible to fit its content
b) make the count of days for preview configurable (as max value) in settings


Reproducible: Didn't try




OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.34-12-desktop
Compiler: gcc

neither of the recommendations will work (both violate principles of size preservation in plasma); the forecast simply needs to be scrollable

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 246281 ***

accuweather? That's not supported in KDE due to legal reasons...

We need to revisit the layouting some more it seems.

Why is this one marked as a duplicate, but not closed? Or is that because of the accuweather part? (I can completely reproduce this one in 4.7.4, by the way. It might also be a different bug than the 246281, since here the columns are to small, and there the entire plasmoid is too small).

I'm getting a similar issue with Environment Canada as a source.

That was the wrong attachment.. how embarrassing. See above comment for machine details.

Hello!

This bug report was filed for KDE Plasma 4, which reached end-of-support status in August 2015. KDE Plasma 5's desktop shell has been almost completely rewritten for better performance and usability, so it is likely that this bug has already been resolved in Plasma 5.

Accordingly, we hope you understand why we must close this bug report. If the issue described  here is still present in KDE Plasma 5.12 or later, please feel free to open a new ticket in the "plasmashell" product after reading https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/Bug_Reporting

If you would like to get involved in KDE's bug triaging effort so that future mass bug closes like this are less likely, please read https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved#Bug_Triaging

Thanks for your understanding!
