It does look better in my case (on a horizontal panel), as the widget is now
much wider and the network interface does not overlap with the network
readings. I did not test it on a vertical panel, as others have commented
earlier. Thus I will keep the bug open for the other people to comment.

As for me, the widget is taking too much space on the panel. I realize that
this was probably what fixed the problem reported here, but as it is I probably
won't be using the widget anyway. It would probably be more helpful if the
widget offered a way to configure its appearance. For example, disable the
network interface name, change the font size, make upload/download bitrates
displayed on top of one another instead of horizontally.

I've just tested this issue on plasma from git master and I believe the widget
has changed since this was reported and can't reproduce the issue.

Can you please test and confirm if this issue is still occurring or if this bug
report can be marked as resolved. I'm setting status to "needsinfo" pending
your response, please change back to "resolved" or "reported" when you respond,
thanks.

vertical, high-DPI

It's even worse on a vertical task-bar. (This is a 270 DPI screen, so fonts are
small already.)

On Debian, KDE has updated to Plasma 5.8.0 and this display problem is now no
more. So it's fixed.

Can someone close this ticket?

Right-aligning the transfer rate information might be the easier and faster
improvement to do. Let's do that first, what do you think?

Here are some suggestions (those are non-exclusive options) to improve the
current situation:

- In the "Parameters" dialog, provide the possibility to rename each interface
with a shorter more-human-readable names
- In the "Parameters" dialog, provide an option to only display the transfer
rates as "popup" when the pointer overs the widget

Of course there might be better solutions that don't involve any options at all
and that provide a good user experience right away for everyone. If so, please
let it be known!

And more important than anything else: A big Thank You for the Wonderful
software that KDE is!

I confirm that I see the same display problem on the network widget monitor.

with the following configuration :
Debian GNU/Linux testing (stretch)
KDE Plasma: 5.6.4
KDE Frameworks: 5.23.0
Qt: 5.6.1
Linux kernel: 4.6.0-1-amd64 (64bits)

Also note that the interface name on this system if much longer than the simple
"eth0" of the first screenshot. In this case the interface name if "enp0s31b5"
