The following change in master should fix the date wrap:

Since the home page is an HTML view the width of the columns is
controlled by
the (builtin) browser. Since we have two different engines depending
on the
version of KDE (KWebView and QWebEngineView) this might also be
affected by
your local environment. You can check the setting of ENABLE_WEBENGINE
using
ccmake to see which version is used (OFF -> KWebView, ON ->
QWebEngineView).
The generated HTML code contains some hints on a percentage base for
the width
of each column. That indeed is only hard-coded.
So far the generated HTML code is only set inside the view and then
discarded.
You could probably add some debug output at the end of
KHomeViewPrivate::loadView() to get a hold of it. AFAIR it might not
be human
readable as it is a single line. You may use xmllint to indent and
split it
up. YMMV. Then changes to the generating code and some CSS foo may do
what you
are looking for. My CSS foo is at the very low end.
Thomas,
Thanks for that, and hopefully I'll be able to test very soon.
However, I hope that forcing non-breaking spaces doesn't end up causing
problems when the window is narrow enough that wrapping would be good.
I'll also have to check which web engine I'm currently using. I have a
vague memory of having switched at some point because some problem
getting the other one to compile on my system. However, even the
reasons for that are probably no longer true, so I can probably test
both, when I get time.
Jack
