There has been many proposals to upstream throughout years for fixing that stupid and ridiculous ellipsis.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 968213] Re: Too many icons in Gnome Shell Activities Overview require ellipses
If that can be of any help, I have the following use case: In addition to the default Firefox launcher, I created two other .desktop files: - One called "Wayland Firefox #1" to run Firefox on Wayland with user profile #1 - The other called "Wayland Firefox #2" to run Firefox on Wayland with user profile #2 I'm using a 4k screen (3840×2160), so I have *a lot* of space available on the screen. And yet, GNOME uses ellipsis and this is what I get when I look for "Firefox" in the GNOME Overview screen (see attachment). I hope this gets fixed soon. Something as simple as a tooltip when putting the cursor on top of the icon or text would be very helpful already. ** Attachment added: "gnome-activities.jpg" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/968213/+attachment/5379588/+files/gnome-activities.jpg -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/968213 Title: Too many icons in Gnome Shell Activities Overview require ellipses Status in GNOME Shell: Confirmed 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.

That got things mostly working for two line objects (although it got center aligned, instead of top aligned, which is probably preferred). It still looked funky for three line objects though. So more work is needed to get thing more dynamic.
