Describe the bug

The settings menu does not fit on a 4:3 monitor 1280x1024px destop size. Please allow line wrapping in settings text items. So that the entire menu fits on the screen without going beyond it.

Manjaro Linux KDE, but I think the problem does not depend on DE.

I am not sure if the aspect ratio is to blame. However, I am coming from a system that supports a native resolution of 2560x1600 (16:10) and of which I often set to 1920x1080 (16:9). I have not tested a 4:3 resolution, and definitely haven't tested 1280x1024, where you seem to be having problems. However, I believe that the window should fit in higher 4:3 resolutions, so now that I am saying this, the aspect ratio does not correlate.


If you tried a 1920x1440 resolution system, then the window should fit as the elements would seem to appear smaller in that configuration. So the 4:3 aspect ratio is not really to blame.

It's not really a resolution issue, the underlined text in the image makes it look more like a combined issue of translated text being too long and the layout being unable to cope with unexpectedly long text. Haven't touched glade in a bit but I'm sure there's probably a button in there to allow for text wrapping, I would assume that this issue is mainly due to what appears to be checkbox labels not being allowed to text wrap. If this is just a gtk option this is probably just an easy thing to change in glade.

Hello! I'd like to work on this issue.

In KDE, you can change the scaling factor by going to System Settings > Display and Monitor > Scale Display. Lowering the scale may help in fitting the Guake settings menu on the screen.If this does noot help please tell me.
