Bug ID: 404625 Summary: Abnormal spacing between elements / icons on Icons view Product: dolphin Version: 18.12.2 Platform: Neon Packages OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: major Priority: NOR Component: view-engine: icons mode Assignee: dolphin-bugs-n...@kde.org Reporter: spiral_wa...@zoho.com Target Milestone: --- SUMMARY Files & folders with long names creates abnormal spacing between elements which makes it hard to search to the naked eye due to high inconsistency . I'm aware you can limit the number of lines used for names on Dolphin's option... which fix the weird spacing but on a real-life scenario working with multimedia files that needs A LOT of informative tags that you need to check while working with those files & folders... the readability is totally ruined and makes it really hard to spot the full name ( you can check the status bar if the folder/file is highlited... but let's agree this is far from ideal ) . This seems to be an old but i'm surprised nobody else mentioned before... from what i've seen this doesn't happen on other Linux DE's ( on other DE's you can see the full long name when the file/folder is highlighted/ selected ) STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. On Icons-view creat one folder 2. Inside that folder create 3 + 3 rows of files & folders with random names using 2-3-4-5-6 lines OBSERVED RESULT You should be looking at the weirdest spacing between elements, with the max space between elements being determined by the file/folder with the longest name... and a lot of empty space below files/folders with short names . EXPECTED RESULT Files & folders should keep equal distance between elements despite the file/folder name's length. It's been like that on other DE's & OSs for years, you can check any other popular DE for reference .
