Why can we not make it scroll?

Why can we not make it scroll?

There's no technical reason we cannot, I just haven't added it :) I'll figure something out.

looks like you can see the top text only for a brief moment then it goes "away"?

it makes sense even tough i think there should be some way to return to top to actually read it, and this should happen only in the popup, if it's a permentent one in the history is fine to disaplay the huge one as it has already a scrollbar

Right, the limit should only be enforced in the popup. I'll add a scrollbar and leave the history unchanged.

Hooray, so we missed 5.7.

There are a few glitches left.

1. It is possible to scroll one letter to the right, although there is a automatic line break. Compare screenshot "start of message" and "scroll right" to get an idea of the meaning. A guess: the width calculation does not include the scrollbar?

2. I do not know if this is intended, but it does not look correct to me: There is a border around the text message text, that is not shown completely. It is only shown on the border, which contains more text. Compare the screenshots below. On the first screenshot, the border is only shown below and on the right edge. On the second screenshot it is also shown on the top. On the thirst it is shown on the left and the bottom. I think there should be no border at all

start of message:

message in the middle:

scroll right:

Thanks for your feedback

I suppose that's the are the scroll bar occupies, I'll have a look.

This is intentional. This is Plasma's way of telling you "there's more if you scroll in that direction", you can observe the same in eg. Kickoff's application list or the Widget Explorer.

PING.

If there are no objections I'll push this tomorrow. I don't want to miss yet another feature release.

what about this issue? It is not fixed yet.

I disabled horizontal scrolling (previously I only hid the horizontal scroll bar). Unfortunately, we often ran into an infinite loop when binding contents to the ScrollView viewport as a scroll bar might appear, which then causes the content to shrink, which then might not need a scroll bar again, etc, etc. Not super pretty but then, super long notifications are usually broken anywa.
