Incorrect rendering in Konqueror metabar

Bug Description

Binary package hint: konqueror

Brought up System menu to access Storage media. Used left tabs sequentially. When I got to metabar, Information and Actions sections were overwritten. I've got a png screenshot, but can't figure out how to attach it here.

Thank you for filing this bug.

I can confirm this on current Feisty. When a line in the metabar is wrapped, it overlaps the next line.

Changed in kdebase:
importance:	Undecided → Low
status:	Unconfirmed → Confirmed

Using the default theme instead of the kubuntu theme makes the lines not wrap at all.

I have the exact same problem, and suppose all Konqueror user have.

What's more, I've found the solution. After several minutes, It was only a line in the file cited below. Search for the element (it already exists) and add the property (as root).

/usr/share/kubuntu-default-settings/kde-profile/default/share/apps/metabar/themes/kubuntu/default.css

li ul {
white-space: nowrap;
}

Also, I think it should be released a patch with this correction, as it is (very) simple and much effective.

Also, I've assigned this bug to kubuntu-default-settings package, as it is not a kdebase problem.

KDE 4 doesn't have a metabar, so there is little chance we will ever fix this ;-)

Closing as won't fix. Thanks for this report nonetheless.

Well, but as far as I know Kubuntu 8.04 uses KDE3 as default desktop environment. And its core packages will be supported until April 2011, so some people may use it up to that date.

I think fixing the packages [0] would have taken the same time it took replying to this report and marking the bug as "don't fix".

I've fixed on my PC it when I used Kubuntu, but unfortunately I'm not a MOTU, and I don't have the knowledge to pack an update (don't know if I can, either).

Thanks anyway.
