Screenshot of the issue in Writer

The accessibility sidebar displays long texts as ellipsized if they do not fit in the available width. Under GTK3 they are broken into multiple lines.

2. Open the accessibility sidebar
-> The longer messages are ellipsized

Looks good with GTK3

Good under GTK3, but not with gen or qt5
