A Screenshot Of The Modal

# SUMMARY

The PolKit authentication modal's user information truncates, when too long for it.

# STEPS TO REPRODUCE

1. Authenticate as a non-superuser user.

2. Connect a second storage device.

3. Unmount it, if mounted.

4. Mount it via Dolphin or Partition Manager.

# OBSERVED RESULT

The user information is truncated.

# EXPECTED RESULT

The user information should wrap. It certainly shouldn't render behind the window border.

# ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Per https://forum.gitlab.com/t/unable-to-react-to-issue-overlay-in-non-saas-instance/130614?u=rokejulianlockhart, I managed to locate the repository for it via:

> ~~~
> $ rpm -qa | grep polkit-kde
> polkit-kde-6.4.5-1.fc42.x86_64
> $ rpm -qi polkit-kde-6.4.5-1.fc42.x86_64
> URL: https://invent.kde.org/plasma/polkit-kde-agent-1
> ~~~

...which contained https://invent.kde.org/plasma/polkit-kde-agent-1/-/blob/d0ac45952510d0f7ae7ed4204a2303c3eda55ce0/polkit-kde-authentication-agent-1.desktop.cmake#L112. However, IDK how to resolve that variable, in order to locate what component to report it to.

Does this happen with non-monospace font?

Moving to kwin, which handles windows and dialogs
