Already done in a previous mail, but let's go for it again... :)
See below.

Both happen when wordwap is on (did I say off ?? I meant on! Sorry.)

Do you have a running konqueror ? Enabling wordwrap (in case you disabled it)
and displaying any directory with long filenames - they don't need
to be 50 chars, at 10/12 the problems begin - will easily show you
the problem.

Otherwise, here is what I posted here a few days ago:
http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-core-devel&m=95127208002621&w=2

The horizontal distance between two icons
is computed using the full length of the filename !

      |             |                  |             |
      |   T X T     |                  |    T X T    |
      |             |                  |             |
      |             |                  |             |
      +-------------+                  +-------------+

         readme.txt                   some_long_filename
                                     on_more_than_1_line.txt

The distance is computed _as if_ the second file had its 
text on a single line. The fact that it's word_wrapped isn't
taken into account.

Hehe, probably :)

Thanks !
