Subject: Word-wrap in message boxes.
Date: Mon, 14 Jan 2002 13:33:18 -0800
From: Waldo Bastian <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

As of today, KMessageBox does not support word-wrap any longer.
In KDE 2.2 KMessageBox didn't do word-wrap either, but some applications may
have removed linefeeds from their messagebox texts already. They need to be
re-added.
What's new for KDE 3.0 is that lines longer than 80 characters will be
"squeezed". That means that a line like
"This is a line longer than 80 chars."
will become something like
"This is a line lo...an 80 chars."
(This example isn't really 80 chars wide of course)
Application developers and translators should be aware of two things:
* The text for a messagebox should not exceed 80 characters per line and
should contain linebreaks where necassery.
* Variable data (e.g. %1) that can be of arbitrary length (e.g. a filename)
should be placed either on a single line or on a line which contains a short
prefix only.
Cheers,
Waldo
