GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 652936
G-c-c shell does not show the end of long icon captions

Created attachment 190200 [details] Screenshot of the problem The Hungarian translation of the Universal Access and System Info icons happen to be long. The control center shell however does not show the end of these long words, it is cut down like this: Akadálymentes|ítés and Rendszerinform|ációk. This is also visible with English when you select the biggest text size in the Universal Access panel. Would it be possible to dynamically resize at least the caption part of the icons to accommodate the longest word in the string?

commit b3be07609a9bae43947ee3e59d8982a7715c9acf Author: Bastien Nocera <hadess@hadess.net> Date: Thu Apr 7 14:22:50 2016 +0200 panels: Fix truncated panel names for larger fonts Note that this fix will not automatically fix translations, which will need to add soft-hyphens (U+00AD) to their translations themselves, and will not fix larger fonts for which the split up syllables end up being bigger than the maximum text width. It's the best we can do without redesigning the Settings shell, which is already something planned. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=647087#c13 Translators, see: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnome.internationalization.general/33633 for more information.
The old shell is gone (bug #790923), and the new one doesn’t have this problem.
