Zander suggested that turning on hyphenation might be some sort of fix: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-flashback/-/issues/73#note_1046666 and that it should be reported against flashback/pango. Is that something to mirror here in the BTW, by also reassigning the bug? (note: I've no idea what 'pango' actually is, so don't know if that makes any sense) > Can you please check what is the minimum value of extra-text-width setting > with which it looks fine for you? > > You can set it like this: > > gsettings set org.gnome.gnome-flashback.desktop.icons extra-text-width 48 I don't actually have this stuff installed locally -- the image I linked to was generated during an OpenQA test install of Debian Installer. > 48 is the default value, please try increasing it and tell me when it becomes > good. I can of course do that change in the KVM instance that runs that test, but it is on a relatively small virtual display being simulated in KVM, so I'm not certain whether doing so gives one a reliable indication of what will appear on ordinary users screens. It seems wrong to use that as the thing that decides what the setting should be set to. > For me the minimum good value is 68, but initially I got “Wastebas/ket” and > not “Wastebaske/t”. Probably it depends on font size.
