Well, this is not a bug, I'm afraid. Texts get cropped if there's not enough space, so this works as intended.
I agree, not a "bug", but an usability issue. User should not "guess" what's the text inside that field. Scrolling text that not fits could be a solution. Or do not show a "text" percentage but a background bar filling by steps the whole field background, so the text will have more characters to show the text. I'm not a C/C++ programmer, so I can't help to implement this issue as I would like to do, I'm sorry.
Only to make you understand why it is important: This case is exactly like if you were only showing "ing document: ...20%" always. I propose to reclaim the "...:xx%" characters space (seven characters at least) and use a background color that will grow according the completed percentage. ;)
