Thanks for the bug report In the screenshot, Dolphin is in the icon view. The footer is very small, less than about 7 characters wide I'm not seeing the same bug in Dolphin built from git-master , or on Fedora 42, even when hovering over a folder with a long name e.g. "Shared Folders (SMB)" I tested with both English and German as the system language Can you try testing Dolphin with a new user and see if it looks the same? Thanks.
Yes, it seems to be something with my user profile. It works fine with a new user.
Thanks for confirming that. What you can try on your regular user is to rename the Dolphin config file: ~/.config/dolphinrc And then log out, and log back in. Do you still see the bug after that?
Yes the bug is still there. Additionally I noticed that the status bar is always between four and five characters too small.

Hi - if you try closing Dolphin, renaming ~/.config/dolphinrc , and then also removing the contents of ~/.cache/dolphin , does it still occur?
Yes, it does.
Can confirm the issue, this was supposed to be fixed with https://invent.kde.org/system/dolphin/-/merge_requests/957 but apparently some styles still don't behave well with it. Will investigate further.
A possibly relevant merge request was started @ https://invent.kde.org/system/dolphin/-/merge_requests/961
Git commit be36fc1bc45b63693bd5861efed94c08cd9ffe2a by Akseli Lahtinen. Committed on 24/04/2025 at 12:08. Pushed by akselmo into branch 'master'. DolphinStatusBar: Fix premature text squeezing The text would get squeezed and elided prematurely due to some clipping calculations and paddings created for the clipping. This slightly modifies the clipping code, that we extend the painted area and then clip off the excess, instead of moving the area to specific place and then clipping off the excess. This also makes sure the text width accounts for one extra character plus the clippings we do, so that text will always fit the statusbar.
