Bug ID: 401342
Summary: Long plasmoid names and/or descriptions are truncated
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.13.5
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Widget Explorer
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org

Screenshot of the problem
SUMMARY
When a plasmoid has a very long name, it is truncated and there is no way to
determine what the plasmoid is.
The same goes for the description.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Start plasmashell with the fr locale (or any locale with names slightly longer
than english) and search for widgets with a truncated name.
Alternatively, create a test widget with a very long name.
OBSERVED RESULT
The screenshot in attachment contains an example with the Input Panel Method:
both name and description are truncated.
Because of this, there is no way to tell what the widget is or does.
The widget explorer offers no way to see more data than what's displayed.
EXPECTED RESULT
This is an UX problem, so there is no obvious solution.
A tooltip with the full name on each widget would help a lot.
Maybe adding a "details" button to display a window similar to the details
window of the Plasma Add-On Installer ?
