           Summary: Application text gets cut off after a space when using
                    more than one row of tasks
           Product: plasma
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: widget-taskbar
        AssignedTo: panel-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: linux bernd-steinhauser de


Version:            (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

Recently the ability has been added to the taskbar widget to display more than one row of items.

Now when it switches to two rows (or more) it exposes a bug, that only the first "word" of the task text is displayed, most likely because there is a line break (you can see that when you freely vary the height of the taskbar applet on the desktop.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Add a taskbar widget to the desktop
2. Open a few tasks that have a space in their taskbar text (i.e. a few konsole sessions)
3. Make the taskbar applet wide enough so the text has enough space to fit
4. Vary the height of the taskbar applet

Result:
At a specific height of the applet the taskbar text gets wrapped, so only the first line is displayed (maybe part of the second line of the text can be seen or parts of it). 
This happens although there is enough space to display the text in one line.

Expected:
Only wrap if there isn't enough space.


This could be related to bug 155507.
