Fixing the size of the confirmation window, when moving files/folders

Heya,

recently I noticed that the overwrite confirmation window scales with the length of the path.

Because of this, the window was stretching over to my second monitor.

I guess the easiest solution would be shortening the path until you hover the mouse over it, or scaling the window in height, instead of width.

Maybe an option for this already exists, but I couldn’t find anything in both preferences and online.

If it matters, I’m on plasma-x11 and didn’t check Wayland, but I doubt that makes a difference.

How long is your path exactly ?

It seems we need to add some wrapping to the filename field.

Since you blanked it in your screenshot (and that was good), I can’t be sure.

It’s a fairly long link due to it being from Steams compatdata folder. So, any time you try to move folders for proton games, you’d get that length.

I’ve edited it a bit and it’s a few symbols shorter, but it still gets the meaning across:

/drives/random/SteamLibrary/steamapps/compatdata/9999999/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Roaming/studio-name/game-name-with-extras/
