Public bug reported: I installed avidemux, which installed two packages with the same initial part of their names: avidemux2.7_jobs_qt5 and avidemux2.7_qt5. By clicking SUPER, the Dash will appear. If I search for "avidemux" the two elements appear but because of the name truncated, I can't differentiate them, either are showed with the name "avidemux 2.7 (". Right-clicking on one of these there is the "details" option but it bring me to the "ubuntu software" application that does not recognize the application saying "application not found". I think that the choose to truncate the application name in the Dash is simply a design bug. This is very annoying: there is enough space to see the compllete name, instead of truncate it to the preview image size...
