            Bug ID: 299317
          Severity: minor
           Version: git master
          Priority: NOR
          Assignee: kdevelop-bugs@kdevelop.org
           Summary: Toolbar icon tooltip texts are inconsistent regarding
                    capitalization and style
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: ashaduri@yandex.ru
          Hardware: openSUSE RPMs
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
         Component: general
           Product: kdevelop

Hello,

I noticed there are inconsistencies in tooltip texts of KDevelop's toolbar
buttons. This makes the program look somewhat unprofessional (which is a shame,
considering its features). Here are the ones I noticed:

Main toolbar:
"Execute current Launch" (variable capitalization).
"Debug current Launch" (variable capitalization).

Debugger toolbar:
"Continues the application execution" (should be "Continue application
execution").
"Steps out of the current function" (should be "Step out of the current
function").

Note that there is also an inconsistency regarding the style of capitalization
(Sentence vs Title, see
http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/Usability/HIG/Capitalization ). If I
understand it correctly, the tooltips should use the sentence-style
capitalization ("Pop-up hint text"). (GNOME HIG also dictates sentence-style
for tooltips).
Either way, KDevelop uses both, so one should be converted to the other (e.g.
"Build Selection", "Stop all currently running jobs" - both in the main
toolbar).

Thanks
