            Bug ID: 346718
           Summary: Ill sized TextArea when a font other then Oxygen is
                    chosen
           Product: frameworks-plasma
           Version: 5.1.0
          Platform: Archlinux Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: components
          Assignee: notmart@gmail.com
          Reporter: markg85@gmail.com

Hi,

Plasma 5 defaults to the Oxygen font. However, i find the Oxygen font to be
very poor. It's not sharp, makes all text look fuzzy... I'm sure that will all
get resolved in time, but till that happens i stay with bitstream vera or the
libration fonts.

Choosing another font has a little nasty side effect on the plasma text input
components. They look off. You can see the results in the screenshots. One is
with Oxygen set as the font, the other is with Bitstream Vera as font.

A partial fix is modifying the TextFieldStyle.qml component. It currently does
this in onCompleted:
        Component.onCompleted: {
            root.padding.left = base.margins.left
            root.padding.top = base.margins.top
            //TODO: if QtControls gets a component for this, use it instead of
this hardcoded heuristic
            root.padding.right = base.margins.right + (control.clearButtonShown
? Math.max(control.parent.height*0.8, units.iconSizes.small)+units.smallSpacing
: 0)
            root.padding.bottom = base.margins.bottom
        }

If you remove the bottom and top padding rules, the font cursor is neatly in
the middle again. But that still means that the entire font input area is still
smaller (in height) then it would be with the oxygen font. I'm guessing the
actual fix would be in either that file (since it looks fine without that
style, but not oxygen like) or in how the implicit height and width is
calculated.

Reproducible: Always
