The width for the Left Menu in the Discover Store is too small

SUMMARY

The width for the Left Menu in the Discover Store is too small when you set your scale to 50% and font size to 23pt.

It's cutting off many of the text. The width should be increased.

See attached screenshot.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  Plug in a 1080p 27" Monitor
2.  Set Scale to 50%
3.  Set Font Size to 23pt
4. Open Discover
5. Look at the left menu width. The text isn't fitting in it.

This is the same issue as bug 508595. When applying 16 point size or greater, the System Settings - font page has a warning at this stage "Very large fonts may produce odd looking results. Instead of using a very large font size, consider adjusting the global screen scale". This is, unfortunately, a limitation of the window manager code.

We discovered that Adjust All Fonts doesn't show the warning, bug 508738 has been filed for that.
