Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: dolphin
When the mouse cursor is hovered on a file in Dolphin, information about
the file is shown in the status bar.
When, however, the information string doesn't fit in one text line (for
instance because of a long filename, or because the Dolphin window is
narrow), the status bar's height is doubled or otherwise increased to
make the whole text fit, rather than employing an ellipsis.
This is especially annoying in 'Details' view, as it may completely prevent
selecting the last file(s) shown by left-clicking on it.
As well, it creates an awkward "flashing" effect as the mouse cursor hovers on
the file increasing the status bar's height, which results in the mouse not
being on the file anymore, but on the status bar, which makes the status bar
shrink back to its normal size... repeat the process ad libitum.
A new line seems to only be issued when the overflowing text contains
spaces, so a filename without spaces will, at most, cause the status bar
to double in height (filename + size + document type), while a filename
containing spaces may increase the height n-fold.
