--- Comment #4 from Nate Graham <n...@kde.org> ---
In this case the problem is that we show the full string on hover, and *that*
string overflows.  So we have the standard set of options for how to handle  a
string that doesn't fit in its current space:
1. Elide it and add a tooltip to see the whole text. Downsides: still can't see
the rest of it when not hovering.
2. Wrap it. Downsides: can re-arrange the layout awkwardly.
3. Expand the space to make it always fit. Downsides: isn't always feasible,
and can produce bad results for really long strings.

In this case 3 is not feasible and 2 would be undesirable because we don't want
the layout to re-arrange on hover. So that leaves #1.
