Screenshot showing the default narrow columns

The ‘Holidays’ category in clock/calendar settings has too narrow columns for the ‘Name’ and ‘Description’ columns. This results in much of the text being clipped. Even though there’s lots of space available, the actual table columns only occupy a fraction of the space reserved for the table.

The same issue is present for the ‘Timezones’ category.

I’ll attach a screenshot showing the problem.

No longer a problem with the re-done table layout in Plasma 5.20.

Ah yes, holidays. Not time zones. Yeah that one still needs to be redone similarly to the timezones stuff.

Holidays view look vastly different these days. Although, I'd still use wrapping rather than eliding for long description labels, and the icons should either be set to the respective country flags or be hidden.

holidays: Wrap long text instead of eliding into a tooltip

This is a miles-long list. We are not winning anything by shaving extra
vertical pixels.

At the same time, multi-line long labels are rare enough to benefit from
mostly uniform height of delegates with the reserveSpaceForSubtitle
option.
