The window expands to that width as the labels in the search suggestions
screen are not set to line_wrap True, and thus to fit in one line, the
window is resized. The proper solution would be setting line_wrap to
True, and line wrap mode to Word-wrap, but falling back to character
wrapping (as in the attached test text there are no word boundaries, and
having only word wrapping would still cause the window to be resized
horizontally), but setting this on the suggestion title causes yet
another issue, the label having enormous height (probably due to a
Pango/GTK3 bug).

String used (happened to be in clipboard) should be attached, as it
doesn't fit here when trying to file the bug report on Launchpad, but
given the suspicous length of 65536 bytes, it's likely that any string
will do.
Ideally, Software Centre should not resize its window in response to
unrelated input.
