Description Bavo De Ridder 2005-10-11 17:09:56 UTC

When file or folder names become longer (and that is not that long actually) icon 
spacing becomes distorted. See three sample screenshots. Although there is "logic" 
in the ordering, it is very unpleasant to the eyes and gives the impression icons 
are just randomly scattered.

and what do you suggest instead? no wrapping?

this wrapping stuff was discussed for ages in kde bugs database..

Just like with any other comparison: how is it that communities decide, after lengthy discussions, that it is technically or logically impossible to "fix" something when Windows has been doing it right since ages.

known upstream and hard to fix right (I think Windows just uses ...) - hopefully for KDE4
