Created attachment 106249 [details] Long Date string truncated with a vertical panel When using a vertical panel and the Digital clock with Show date on and the Long Date format, the date string almost always gets truncated. If there's not enough horizontal space (which will almost always be true with a vertical panel), it will be truncated and say: Thursday, J... Instead of using multiple lines to produce: Thursday July 21st 2017 See attached screenshot. This was already fixed for the Short Date format in https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=355242, but the problem persiste for the Long Date format
Confirming. Also the text for long date can be bigger (~2x bigger than current size - it will be more readable) Distribution: KDE neon Developer Edition - Stable Branches Plasma: 5.11.4 Frameworks: 5.41.0 Qt: 5.9.3 Kernel 4.10.0-40-generic

Git commit 02c89d749475f01f23036a6011f1bfd20254fc7c by Nate Graham. Committed on 10/01/2020 at 06:07. Pushed by ngraham into branch 'master'. [applets/digital-clock] Fix truncated Long Date display in a vertical panel Summary: FIXED-IN: 5.18.0 Test Plan: Before: {F7851382, size=full} After: {F7851383, size=full} Texted extensively because this code is so brittle. No regressions with long date in a thick or normal-sized horizontal panel or short date in a thick or normal-sized horizontal or vertical panel. The one issue I could find is that sometimes switching between short and long date formats in a double-thickness vertical panel causes the long date to be truncated again until plasmashell is restarted. I was unable to determine why. Assistance would be appreciated if this is a blocker.
