Thanks for the bug report.

This hyphenation (which only seems to happen at display scale 100%)
appears to be correct. There is no other way to fit a long word in a
confined space. But I think you're suggesting a more grammatically
correct location for the hyphen, and I'm afraid that's not feasible
because it needs to be done by simple text formatting code that does not
understand/interpret English.

If there is any solution here then I suggest it should be fixed in the
Simplenote app - ask the author to insert a zero-width space (unicode
U+200B) between "Simple" and "note" so that GUIs will automatically
break it in the correct location.

Title:
  App drawer app name line separation

Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Whenever you open the app drawer and an app has a name that is long than one 
line it attempts to separate it in an odd, non-grammar-conforming way (neither 
for German nor English). For example, the app "Simplenote" is not divided into 
"Simple-" and "note" but rather into "Simplenot-" "e" which looks rather odd 
and unpolished.
  Even if my appdrawer does not use the default ubuntu font it should correctly 
separate.
