Image of bug, look at the bottom and note the "Application" text overlaps "Places" icon

SUMMARY
I just upgraded to KDE 5.80.0 / Plasma 5.21.3 on Manjaro and noticed some of the text in new Application Launcher redesign is overlapping.

In particular, "Applications" is overlapping with the "Places" icon.

Also, the text for the options (Sleep, hibernate, Restore Session, Shutdown) is truncated (with ...) to the extent that the text doesn't help much.

Is perhaps there a way to disable this text and just show the icons? 

Also, maybe it has to do with my fontsize? I'm using Terminus [Xos4] 12pt

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Application Launcher
2. Observe the overlapping "Applications" text with the "Places" Icon 
3. Also note the text for shutdown, hibernate, etc. is truncated so much that it might be better to just hide it

OBSERVED RESULT

In particular, "Applications" is overlapping with the "Places" icon.

EXPECTED RESULT

The "Applications" text shouldn't overlap with the places icon.

Maybe there should be an option to disable the text entirely and just rely on the icons for those actions (Applications, Places, Hibernate, etc..)?

Alternatively, I wouldn't mind the full text being displayed (Eg "Sleep" instead of "Sl..."). I do realize that this would make the Application Launcher wider however.
