Created attachment 105261 [details] Recend Documents view showing truncated filenames Linux distro: openSUSE Tumbleweed Plasma version: 5.9.4 In the Recent Documents section, long filenames get truncated easily because the filenames sit below the icons rather than to the right of them. This is a big problem for files with long names, many of which all start with the same base string. I've attached a screenshot that illustrates the issue. This isn't a problem with all the other views that show program names under their icons, but files tend to have much longer names than programs do.
There's a tooltip on hover (unless you disabled tooltips in System Settings).
Indeed there is. That doesn't diminish the problem, though: 1. Mousing over the truncated lines of text one at a time is a frustrating experience. 2. Tooltips don't work with touch-based user interaction where there is no concept of hovering the cursor over something, and the Dashboard appears to be a very touch-centric user interface.
There might be an option to display more than one text line at some point.

Bug 365936 is not exactly a dup of this because it reported the same issue, but for every part of the Dashboard - not only documents but all applications displayed by it. A screenshot is here: http://imgur.com/a/5DGRJ
Besides being narrower, I should also mention this bug is newer, what means it should be updated with the details of 365936 instead (such as version and platform).
