During installation of OpenOffice, you can choose whether or not to install 
individual features. When you click on a feature, it shows a "feature 
description" on the right of the window. When a feature description is too 
long, it gets truncated and an ellipsis gets placed at the end of the text. 
There appears to be no way to view the text that got cut off. This defeats the 
purpose of even having a feature description. Other features may suffer from 
this same issue, but I only happened to notice it with "Python-UNO Bridge" 
feature. Here is what I can see of the feature description (notice the ellipsis 
at the end):

I recommend either feature descriptions be shortened or, even better, create 
a "more..." button that opens a new window to allow the user to see the full 
description. Here are some other possible alternatives:
1) Make the feature description a button instead of a label. That way, the user 
can click the button and read the full feature description in a new window.
2) Make the feature description a readonly textbox instead of a label. That 
way, the user can scroll to see the rest of the description. A richtextbox 
could also be used.
3) Make the installation window resizable. That way, the user can resize the 
window to see the rest of the feature description.
