Title:
Too many icons in Gnome Shell Activities Overview require ellipses
Status in GNOME Shell:
Unknown
Status in One Hundred Papercuts:
Confirmed
Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
Several apps in the default Ubuntu 17.04 or 17.10 install have
Ellipses when shown in GNOME Shell's Activities Overview.
This was made worse by switching GNOME Shell to use the Ubuntu font
because the Ubuntu font is a bit wider than GNOME's default Cantarell
font so some apps that didn't require ellipses in 17.04 require them
now in 17.10 Alpha.
The upstream GNOME bug proposes that apps names be allowed to use 2
lines. This is similar to what the Settings app (gnome-control-center)
does.
This is also really bad for languages that use more characters than
English.
Original Bug Title
------------------
Gnome Shell Activities Overview should show full names on mouse hover
Original Bug Report
-------------------
The title says it all --- especially when choosing recent documents, if they
start with the same say 12 or 14 letters, it's impossible to differentiate them
(see attached screenshot).
When mouse is hovering an icon, the full name of the
application/document should be shown.
