** Changed in: gnome-shell (Ubuntu)
Importance: Wishlist => Medium
** Tags removed: activities gnome-shell ui
** Tags added: gnome-17.10
** Description changed:
- 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).
+ 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.
+
+ Original Bug Title
+ ------------------
+ Gnome Shell Activities Overview should show full names on mouse hover
