Created attachment 161917 [details] difference between Widget Exporer and Discover SUMMARY The "Download New Widgets" explorer" reachable through the "Add Widgets" side panel cuts off the widget description. It should show the full widget description like Discover does. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Search for a widget on Discover and the Widget Explorer 2. Compare descriptions between those two See attached image for a widget example. Said widget with text on store.kde.org: https://store.kde.org/p/2086390/ OBSERVED RESULT The Widget Explorer doesn't show the full widget description. EXPECTED RESULT The Widget Explorer should show the full widget description similar to Discover. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: EndeavourOS KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.8 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.110.0 Qt Version: 5.15.10 Kernel Version: 6.5.5-2-cachyos (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Often the widget description includes valuable information about features and/or advanced steps for setting up the widget. Cutting off that information is rather unfortunate.
Thank you for the bug report! However Plasma 5.25.4 is no longer eligible for support or maintenance from KDE; supported versions are 5.27, and 5.27 or newer. Please upgrade to a supported version as soon as your distribution makes it available to you. Plasma is a fast-moving project, and bugs in one version are often fixed in the next one. If you need support for Plasma 5.25.4, please contact your distribution, who bears the responsibility of providing support for older releases that are no longer supported by KDE. If you can reproduce the issue after upgrading to a supported version, feel free to re-open this bug report.
Reopening This was a filing error (assuming the version bugtracker dropdown was defaulting to the latest release). This is an issue on the currently latest 5.27.8.
Ugh, you're right; can reproduce in Frameworks 6 too. We should not be truncating content here.
I can reproduce this on self-built Qt6.6. It seems like the views are not getting updated correctly, with a lot of extra un-filtered empty items at the end. Changing the view mode fixes this temporarily for the current filter. Beside that, the sorting selector does not get applied to the views nor to the menu (it stays showing `Recent Items`).
My bad, replied on the wrong bug report. Please Nate, mark this comment and the previous one as spam.

Git commit 5629ee2de5facefb0b31df40d086b23f109e6b86 by Ismael Asensio. Committed on 05/11/2023 at 14:59. Pushed by iasensio into branch 'master'. EntryDetails: Update entry contents when showing the details page When showing the details page for an entry, we were just using the data fetched on the previous search that included this entry. This information is more limited: - it does not include all the fields (ex. the donations link) - the description is capped to only 300 characters Now we retrive the detailed content for the information and update the model and the view fields accordingly.

This was only fixed in 6? What about us 5 users. I am on 5.27.11 and the issue remains...
It's a large-ish change, so we didn't feel comfortable backporting it to KF5 since no one on the dev team is still using it. But feel free to backport it yourself to Kubuntu's KF5 KNewStuff package if it works fine in your testing. If so, we'd appreciate a report about it and then we might consider backporting it to the kf5 branch too.
