Bug Description
The Additional Drivers page generally has a short list containing options with long labels, such as "Using X.Org X server - AMD/ATI display driver wrapper from xserver-
Many labels go well beyond the default width for the dialog, resulting in a horizontal scrollbar. Meanwhile, there is all sorts of vertical space that could easily accommodate the information. It would be easier to work with this dialog if the labels were word wrapped, instead.

Based on the specification [1] the solution is not word-wrapping, but more human-readable description of the available drivers. /wiki.ubuntu. com/SoftwareAnd UpdatesSettings #drivers
If that's not easily feasible, simply wrapping the package name part in a second line (eventually with a smaller, grey font) would work fine, I think.
