Searching for applications in the dash; clipped titles (312.16 KB, image/png)

Description Jeroen Hoek 2012-08-19 09:51:08 UTC 
Reproduce:

1) Use English as desktop language.
2) Search for "lock".

Result is attached screenshot. I am searching for the settings dialog to change the screen lock settings, but it only shows "Brightness an…" and "Date and time".

Expected:

"Brightness and Lock". Application names should be clipped at some point, but is a bit aggressive at the moment. There seems to be no way of showing the full title.

Please reattach the screenshot, it got lost.

Reattaching screenshot. It was too large, so I cropped it a bit. The initial bug report entry screen did not show that error.

This is also problematic with languages which often places object in the end.
For example, in french, I have two "Gestionnaire de ..." and one "Gestionnaire d'ar..." which litteraly translate to "Manager of...". Not very helpfull.
