Description Mohit Marathe (allotropia) 2024-12-08 06:22:44 UTC
Description:
Cause: The ellipsis property for the gtk label is broken in generic backend which makes the width of the label (and hence the sidebar) too large. And due to how the "Options" part is aligned it goes out of the visible part of the sidebar. 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a document in Writer.
2. Select a text that is larger than one line and add comment to it.

Actual Results:
The "Options" part is not visible in the comments sidebar.

Expected Results:
It should be visible


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No
