Description Karl Ove Hufthammer 2019-03-30 17:26:19 UTC
SUMMARY
The string ‘Handle remote keys only when editing’ in the KDE Connect Android app doesn’t have word wrapping enabled. So for long translations or large font sizes, the text is cut off.

For example, for the Norwegian Nynorsk translation, the string is translated into ‘Handter eksterne tastetrykk berre ved redigering’. But this is shown as ‘Handter eksterne tastetrykk b…’, which is impossible to understand.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Change your Android locale to Norwegian Nynorsk
2. Go the the plugin settings
3. Click the settings for ‘Receive remote keypresses’

OBSERVED RESULT
The string shown is ‘Handter eksterne tastetrykk b…’.

EXPECTED RESULT
The string should be wrapped over two lines, e.g.
‘Handter eksterne tastetrykk
berre ved redigering’

Thank you for the bug report, and I'm sorry we didn't manage to get to it before. KDE Connect depends on the specifics of the device and network configuration. We recommend that you first try the troubleshooting steps at https://userbase.kde.org/KDEConnect#Troubleshooting, and if these do not work, try asking at discuss.kde.org or your distibution's support forums. Bug reports are only actionable for developers if the cause can be clearly identified and is something that can be fixed on our end, and at those places you can get help with narrowing this down and making it actionable for developers.
I am closing this bug report, but please do not hesitate to file a new one if you can narrow down the issue to a particular cause that can be fixed in KDE Connect.
