Title: Checkbox labels ellipsized on phone screen in portrait orientation Status in Ubuntu UX: Fix Committed Status in webbrowser-app: Fix Released Status in ubuntu-ui-toolkit package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in webbrowser-app package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in webbrowser-app source package in Vivid: Confirmed Bug description: Browser's Settings screen shows an example of a checkbox where its label does not fit in the available screen width, so it is ellipsized. <https://launchpadlibrarian.net/206607288/half-fixed.png> The only way to see what the option means is to switch the phone to landscape. Even if an app developer avoids this, in portrait mode, on the smallest shipping phone, for every string in their app, in English, they are quite likely not to check their app in every shipping language. And the app may not provide a landscape mode at all. So ellipsizing the label is not an ideal solution. <https://goo.gl/qc5GV7>: "A checkbox or switch should almost always have a label, which can be tapped just like the checkbox or switch itself. If there is not enough room to display the label on one line, by default it should wrap to multiple lines. It should not be cropped or ellipsized unless the app developer specifically requests this, typically for text that they do not control the length of (such as a Wi-Fi network name, filename, or bookmark title)."
