           Summary: Network manager widget text is out of bounds
           Product: kde
           Version: 4.6
          Platform: Unlisted Binaries
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: spb.nevill at gmail.com

how it looks now

Version:           4.6 (using KDE 4.6.2) 
OS:                Linux

When I try to show my network interfaces by their manifacturer,their
description is overly long and the text spreads to the neighbouring windows.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1) Click on the network manager widget.
2) Click 'change connections' button on the right (I do not use english
localisation, so the name might be different)
3) Choose other
4) Sort interfaces by manifacturer

Actual Results:  
Interfaces' descriptions do not fit their respected window.

Expected Results:  
They should fit the window one way or the other. Either the window should match
the information contained in it, or the descripion should wrap.

There is also a usability problem if you have several devices that can be
connected to a single network and you sort the interfaces by their description.
Their name would be essentially the same - 'Wireless Network Interface', whick
leads to confusion as to which one is being currently used.

For now, I'm stuck with showing network interfaces by the system name.
'wlan0'/'wlan1' is short and distinct enough.
