Created attachment 103684 [details] Digital Clock settings Dear devs After upgrading my laptop from KDE4 to 5 the other day, I had to re-setup parts of my desktop. During that I noticed several problems WRT settings dialogs. I checked the applets I use (e.g. application menu, standard taskbar, digital clock), all of them are affected to varying degrees. The text of the settings items is truncated in many places. I set up a test user with US english, there I did not see the problem. I have a German setup and am using a display with 176 DPI. Also, none of the items have accelerator keys assigned to them, one is forced to use the mouse. This is a regression. I attach a screenshot of the Digital Clock settings. Notice the ellipses in many places. Also, the dropdown to select the date format is too narrow (not only in German, but also in the English version).
Is the text also truncated, if you are not using the QtCurve widget style, but Breeze?
Yes, and I found out the actual cause: I set up a new, clean test user. At first, the truncation was not present. But then I started recreating my own setup, because fonts are very much on the large end of sizes. As it turns out, the truncation happens when I set a non-integer font size, which can be achieved by using the "Set all fonts" button in font settings. The size I use for general text is 8.5 pt. I tried it with 8.5 and 9.5 pt, with both I could recreate the truncating effect.
Oh the wonders of QtQuick on the desktop... that truncation problem might be a rounding error and Qt bug in the Text element.
Not sure if those components are pure Qt code, or if they are styled by Plasma code.
(In reply to Christoph Feck from comment #4) > Not sure if those components are pure Qt code, or if they are styled by > Plasma code. configuration dialogs are styled with qstyle based qtquickcontrols1, so is not plasma specific
This is fixed now.
