Created attachment 174171 [details] showing panel edit mode in german SUMMARY the panel edit mode looks very crammed especially on a 13 inch 3:2 screen(2256x1504) like the framework laptops with 175% scaling STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. set language to german (or any other language with very long words) 2. open panel edit mode by right-clicking on it OBSERVED RESULT panel edit mode looks very crammed EXPECTED RESULT resize the edit window when it exceeds a certain size/ratio of the screen use the space in the top right corner SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Aurora 40 KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.6.0 Qt Version: 6.7.2 Graphics Platform: Wayland ADDITIONAL INFORMATION as https://l10n.kde.org/docs/translation-howto/gui-peculiarities.html states: "One problem which languages with longer than average words (German, for example, is notorious here) sometimes encounter is dialog boxes which are too small, cutting off or cramming together translated text. This is one of the things that can only be determined for sure by checking the translations in the compiled program. The obvious, but always temporary, solution is to "keep it short." You would basically do this if there were no more time to pursue the proper solution, namely contacting the author of the program so that he/she can adjust the geometry of the offending boxes. In any case, an email describing the problem should be sent to the author or even better create a new bug report in KDE Bugs."
I'd say this is the opposite of crammed: the long text produces excessive whitespace! One idea I've been playing with here is to combine both of the "Add [thing]" buttons into a single "Add" button that shows a dropdown menu. That would pretty much fix this. In the meantime, I'm sending this to the German translation team to see if it's possible to reduce the length of these labels at all.
