Description Frank Souza 2012-11-24 04:01:54 UTC
Some icons of symlinks folders are bigger than others

This is random, I do not know when it happens, but I can say some bug features:

It does not happen when in preview mode
Is not related to the icon theme (also tested with default oxygen theme and many others)
I copy the folder containing the symlink odd, and the problem continues with the symlink copied
This has been happening since KDE 4.8

Reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce

Actual Results:  
Some icons are larger than others, and seem out of place

Expected Results:  
Icon size should be the same size as the other

Another information:
Happens between the minimum zoom to zoom up to 96 px
Comment 2 Frank Reininghaus 2012-11-24 04:23:11 UTC
Thanks for the bug report, I can reproduce this. Seems to be related to the length of the file name.
Comment 3 Emmanuel Pescosta 2013-09-04 18:45:14 UTC
Still reproducible?

I can't reproduce it in Dolphin 4.11.0.
Comment 4 Frank Reininghaus 2013-10-10 15:44:30 UTC
I cannot reproduce either. Please reopen if you see the problem again in Dolphin 4.11.2 or later. Thanks!
Comment 5 Frank Souza 2013-10-10 23:19:16 UTC

Ubuntu 12.04

I think I have an idea about what might be going wrong. Could you please try the following:

In a different folder, create a regular file or folder with the same name that one of the symlinks that gets such a huge icon has. If you use exactly the same view settings, could it be that the non-symlink needs one more line of text below the icon than the symlink?

If my assumption is true, then the problem is that

KStandardItemListWidgetInformant::itemSizeHint(int index, const KItemListView* view)

calculates the number of lines required for the item's name based on the metrics of the non-italic font. When the view tries to render the item on the screen, it uses the italic font and finds that needs less space than it reserved earlier for the item, and then uses the excess space to show a bigger icon.

Similar bugs are bug 326210 (about incorrect text rendering for symlinks in Compact View), bug 308022 and bug 323841 (which are about the view drawing a blurry icon because the reserved height for the item is 1 pixel less than is actually needed).
