Title: gnome-control-center cuts long single-word descriptions Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: the gnome-control-center (system settings) cuts long single-word descriptions off in its UI, making it harder to figure out what an item refers to. Its important to realize that English is one of the most compact languages around, and translating English to another language almost always results in longer strings. For example in Dutch, the following entries in system settings are too long to be displayed properly: Taalondersteuning, Toetsenbordindeling, Extra stuurprogramma's, Gebruikersaccounts, Softwarebronnen and Systeeminformatie ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.10 Package: gnome-control-center 1:3.2.1-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.0.0-13.22-generic 3.0.6 Uname: Linux 3.0.0-13-generic i686 NonfreeKernelModules: fglrx ApportVersion: 1.23-0ubuntu4 Architecture: i386 CheckboxSubmission: 4d622a2daf4715c83324b38deda76e9b CheckboxSystem: b5acb6c9ca4017b1d44043910f45329d Date: Fri Nov 11 12:15:21 2011 EcryptfsInUse: Yes InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 11.10 "Oneiric Ocelot" - Release i386 (20111012) ProcEnviron: PATH=(custom, no user) LANG=nl_NL.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: gnome-control-center UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) usr_lib_gnome-control-center: deja-dup 20.1-0ubuntu0.2 gnome-bluetooth 3.2.0-0ubuntu2 indicator-datetime 0.3.1-0ubuntu1.1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/889061/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
