A screenshot of the System Tray settings dialog showing the description for "IBus Panel" overflowing.

SUMMARY
Items in the system tray with very long titles will have those titles underflow behind the contents of other columns when viewed in the "Entries" section of the System Tray Settings dialog.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Run a program which adds a system tray entry with a very long title. In my case the problematic entry was the "IBus Panel" entry that ibus-daemon adds, which sets its title to a long two-line string describing how to switch which context menu it presents when clicked. (Their solution is perhaps not the most intuitive, but that is out of scope for this bug report. :p)
2. Open the System Tray Settings dialog and switch to the Entries section.

OBSERVED RESULT
The long title underflows the neighboring columns. (See attachment.)

EXPECTED RESULT
The title should either be ellipsized (this is the solution chosen by the "Status and Notifications" panel which may be accessed with the chevron at the right edge of the system tray), or should be wrapped onto multiple lines.
