After the recent update of KDE Frameworks to version 5.45.0 there is this unusual clipping of text in the "Sidebar View" of "System Settings".There is no such issue in "Icon View" and other applications like "Discover" also. Clipped text in Sidebar View: https://i.imgur.com/c06uaze.png No clipping in Icon View: https://i.imgur.com/Yw3yfm0.png No clipping in Discover: https://i.imgur.com/kcWrnWz.png Strangely,if we scroll down to the bottom end the clipping of text seems to be resolved for some sections that are currently visible,i.e. see the clipped text under "Personalization" section in the above screenshot before scrolling down and after scrolling down in the below screenshot. No clipped text after scrolling down: https://i.imgur.com/O7YrVck.png I am using KDE Plasma 5.12.4 @ Arch on Xorg.
Confirmed on Kubuntu 17.10. Cannot reproduce with Neon dev unstable in a VM.
Same thing for me, same setup as isalliswell. Have tried swapping around fonts but so far nothing changed when doing that
Can confirm this. Antergos on kde-unstable. Although for me, it's fontsize dependend. With Roboto Condensed 11 is clipped, 12 is perfect, 13 clipped, 14 perfect.
Excellent information, Dominik--confirmed! Seems quite dependent on hitting the right combination of font and size. Here's the result of some testing on my Kubuntu 17.10 machine: 9pt Noto Sans: clipped 10pt Noto Sans: fine 11pt Noto Sans: fine 12pt Noto Sans: clipped 13pt Noto Sans: fine 14pt Noto Sans: clipped 15pt Noto Sans: fine 9pt Ubuntu: clipped 10pt Ubuntu: fine 11pt Ubuntu: clipped 12pt Ubuntu: clipped 13pt Ubuntu: fine 14pt Ubuntu: fine 15pt Ubuntu: clipped Haven't figured out the the pattern yet...

As pointed out in the comments,it depends on the font size.So,I am just curious if it is related to "Force a content size into the background style item " update to Kirigami in recent Frameworks update to 5.45. Kirigami Content size update: https://phabricator.kde.org/D11189

I swear I tested this extensively--including with a non-default font size of Noto Sans 11. Unfortunately, that's not one of the affected font and size combinations, so I missed this. The bug seems to be that this *particular* view has some minor mis-alignment that triggers the clipped text bug when Qt Native text rendering is used. I don't think we should roll back the fix; rather, we need to fix whatever it is in this particular scrollview that's triggering the bug. Workaround: open the following file: - Debian-based distros: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/qml/QtQuick/Controls.2/org.kde.desktop/Label.qml - Other distros: /usr/lib64/qt5/qml/QtQuick/Controls.2/org.kde.desktop/Label.qml Comment out the line that begins with "renderType:" and add a new line consisting of "renderType: Text.QtRendering" Save the file and re-open System Settings. Should be fixed. This will force Qt Text Rendering, which does not have the issue. It will have the effect of making nearly all text using Qml Label items subtly lighter in color though.

It seems to fix the issue.In Arch the path of the file is slightly different i.e :/usr/lib64/qt/qml/QtQuick/Controls.2/org.kde.desktop/Label.qml Just curious why this issue is not there in KDE Neon Dev-Unstable even though they are using(presumably) the same configurations ? Thank you!
Update: it's reproducible in Neon dev unstable in a VM too, but the sizes may be different (I had to raise it up to 14pt for Noto Sans, which is why I didn't see this in testing).

Just tested it in live boot and was surprised to see that I can't reproduce it in Neon Dev Unstable(downloaded just now).I tested it from font size 9 to 18 in Noto Sans but there was no sign of clipping.Also,enabling and disabling of hinting has no effect on the results.Please find below the screenshots for the same. Font size 9: https://i.imgur.com/JLNrVBe.png Font size 10: https://i.imgur.com/XKGCesF.png Font size 11: https://i.imgur.com/zdlZEUs.png Font size 12: https://i.imgur.com/FS0vxHW.png Font size 13: https://i.imgur.com/nfqMQkB.png Font size 14: https://i.imgur.com/xOwr3lS.png Font size 15: https://i.imgur.com/NUBZUCR.png Font size 16: https://i.imgur.com/NrZHTv7.png Font size 17: https://i.imgur.com/HJUFuGB.png Font size 18: https://i.imgur.com/uhD98yS.png Other than this, one more thing that I noticed is that the font size doesn't scale equally for all categories for example see snaps of font size 17,you will notice that the font size under "Appearance" category is considerable larger as compared to any other category. Hope this helps. Thanks.
Same problem here on Arch Linux with the latest packages as of June 2. KDE 5.12.5 Frameworkds 5.46 Apps 18.04.1 I'm hoping this issue is still relevant to the developers with 5.13 coming out soon (it's one of those subtle but frustrating details).
Same problem here on Manjaro with KDE 5.12 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 395556 ***

I wonder if we should just unconditionally move back to Text.NativeRendering once Plasma can depend on Qt 5.11, which has David's HiDPI fix (i.e. whether at that time we should simply revert https://cgit.kde.org/plasma-framework.git/commit/?id=a21bc11fe11651f6d211489ebfc8435cef877194 and https://cgit.kde.org/plasma-framework.git/commit/?id=3a66e9a0a5ea8dc792d4a2bafbfce3c81b73ebed)
Nope, can't do that since the bug with Qt.NativeRendering (https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-67007) is not only not fixed in Qt 5.11, but it's even worse! :(
Just tried the latest Developer edition Git-unstable of KDE Neon and the clipping was not there as we are already using "renderType: Text.QtRendering" to bypass the bug. Anyway I noticed a small UI paper cut(not sure) in the settings see the below image: https://imgur.com/a/wAo8f1z Don't you think,it would be better if the highlighted area(bluish) of the selected category not go under/beyond the scrollbar ?

We are discussing how to handle scrollbar styles here: https://phabricator.kde.org/T9126 Also, please try not to report new issues in an existing bug report.

Here's a patch that fixes this: https://phabricator.kde.org/D17143
This was fixed in a better way with a Kirigami patch, so all users benefited: https://cgit.kde.org/kirigami.git/commit/?id=508236f2df2458c53c07bcb3e83e06a6b5c7d332
Verified that your fix fixes it. Thanks so much, Marco!
