Bug Description

Using 17+ Lenses seems to enhance the virtual size of the Dash and icons and settings are rendered off-screen if the Dash is not set to run in fullscreen.

Sure.
Here Lens 17 is Wikipedia, which is selected, but already off-screen or off-Dash. You can also see in the screenshot, that the icons/text is already off-screen/Dash.

The design team needs to decide what should happen in these cases (drop down list? horizontal scrollable list?)
