Bug ID: 509320
Summary: KRecentFilesMenu sometimes shows empty file names when
a secondary display is disconnected
Classification: Frameworks and Libraries
Product: frameworks-kwidgetsaddons
Version First 6.13.0
Reported In:
Platform: Debian stable
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When calculating the maximum available width for file names/paths,
RecentFilesEntry uses the narrowest screen reported by QApplication.screens().
This is usually fine, but on some systems, that method can return screens with
zero width. (For example, when an xorg.conf ServerLayout refers to a Screen
that is not currently connected.) Consequently, KRecentFilesMenu populates
itself with file names truncated to zero characters.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Configure xorg.conf with a ServerLayout section including at least two
Screen entries.
2. Disconnect the display corresponding to one of those entries.
3. Start a Plasma X11 session
4. Open a few archive files with Ark, to populate its Recent Files menu. (Or
Kate or Okular, since they seem to be affected as well.)
5. Open the Recent Files menu
OBSERVED RESULT
The Recent Files menu looks something like this:
[]
[]
[]
EXPECTED RESULT
The Recent Files menu should look more like this:
stuff.zip [/home/user/stuff.zip]
my.tar.gz [/home/user/my.tar.gz]
stuff.tar [/home/user/stuff.tar]
