Title:
  Shell dialog text is truncated and ellipsized

Status in GNOME Shell:
  Unknown
Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in gnome-shell source package in Focal:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [ Impact ]

  Shell modal dialogs contain text that may be truncated when using
  certain locales

  [ Test case ]

  - Start a virtual machine with GNOME Boxes
  - The keyboard prompt should be all visible

  [ Regression potential ]

  Text isn't properly rendered or the dialog is not all visible in the
  display

  ----

  When trying to start a virtual machine with Gnome Boxes, I get a
  prompt about keyboard shortcuts. The prompt text is localized, but
  translated back to English (I think, based on [1]) it says:

      Boxes wants to inhibit shortcuts

      You can restore shortcuts by pressing Super+Escape.

  In my locale (Finnish), it says

      Sovellus Boksit haluaa rajoittaa pikanäppäinten toimintaa.

      Voit palauttaa pikanäppäinten toiminnan painamalla Super...

  (sic; see attached photo)

  So the actual key combination is truncated, defeating the point of
  that part of the text.

  This isn't a localization error (AFAICT; see [2]). It's caused by the
  text being forced to fit on a single line of an arbitrarily fixed
  width, instead of wrapping to span as many lines as needed.

  (I'm reporting this against gnome-shell as opposed gnome-boxes based
  on [3]. Feel free to reassign as necessary.)
