Title:
Gnome shell 'Show Applications' app names commonly truncated
Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
The way people browse their apps and is key to discoverability for
new Linux users. Despite the grid layout including quite a lot of
space, whenever apps have more than about 12-13 characters in their
name they get truncated and even when you hover over the icons it
still doesn't display the names of the apps. Therefore you are left
not knowing what the app is unless you know the icon or launch the app
to discover the full name. This is surprising common. A few examples:
Firefox Web Br...
LibreOffice Imp...
LibreOffice Wri...
Language Supp...
Document Sca...
Document Vie...
Passwords and ...
Visual Studio C...
Software & Up...
While we know or can guess what most of them are, there's loads of
space so why can't we give two lines for app names so all reasonably
named apps have their names displayed in full?
