Created attachment 180327 [details] A Screenshot SUMMARY When an application's window procedure is unresponsive, Plasma Shell's notification service explains this to the user via a notification, whose label is missing a space. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Send a STOP to a process with an attached (top-level) window. 2. Send a SIGTERM to it. OBSERVED RESULT Undermentioned is, verbatim, what the notification states: > "Welcome" of KWrite is not responding. Do you want to terminate this application?Terminating this application will close all of its windows. Any unsaved data will be lost. EXPECTED RESULT It should be: > "Welcome" of KWrite is not responding. Do you want to terminate this application? Terminating this application will close all of its windows. Any unsaved data will be lost. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS > Operating System: Fedora Linux 42 > KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.4 > KDE Frameworks Version: 6.13.0 > Qt Version: 6.8.2 > Kernel Version: 6.14.2-300.fc42.x86_64 (64-bit) > Graphics Platform: Wayland ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I've searched https://invent.kde.org/search?search=terminating%20this%20application&nav_source=navbar for this string, but I presume that it's stored in a translation file that is consumed, rather than directly embedded as a QString. Otherwise, I'd have remediated this myself with a PR.
https://reddit.com/r/kde/comments/1024y46/comment/j2rxukw disincentivised me from remediating this alone.
It's a code bug, not a translation bug. See https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/blob/master/src/helpers/killer/killer.cpp?ref_type=heads#L236 Feel free to submit a PR!
(In reply to Nate Graham from comment #2) ...Actually, I think you'd rather I don't, 'cause I didn't consider it might be CPP code. 😅 Apologies! I can change a string, but I can't write C.
You don't need to write code; just change the string to add a space.
(In reply to Nate Graham from comment #4) Thanks! I tried: https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/merge_requests/7528. I hope this doesn't cost you more time it would have taken to just add a space yourself! :D
