@Albert: What is this app?

[Albert Astals Cid (aacid)]

It's not an app, it's the Dash Table Preview Widget

[James Mulholland (jamesmulholland)]

Solution: Break text into separate lines so that information of interest to users is not lost or occluded (e.g. by using an ellipses) as we cannot guarantee this information will be available to the user elsewhere in the preview.

IRC Log:
[10:42am] JMulholland: so this occurs within the dash/scopes when viewing a preview?
[10:44am] tsdgeos: yes
[10:44am] JMulholland: if it’s a repetition of previously shown text (as this example would imply: https://launchpadlibrarian.net/194759679/preview-table-runs-off-side.png) the an ellipses. If it’s information that is not otherwise displayed to the user, then we need to break it into separate lines so that info isn't lost, I would say.
[10:44am] tsdgeos: you can't know what's in there
[10:44am] tsdgeos: the scope author will put there whatever he wants
[10:44am] JMulholland: then we break it into separate lines. Better to occasionally repeat info than lose info when its of interest to the user. Would you agree?
[10:44am]tsdgeos: i can agree with that yeah

  * Don't show any power dialogs while the screen is off. This is a
    band-aid to avoid the symptom, while we still investigate the source
    of why the screen doesn't turn on (and why we seem to not handle the
    power-button-release event). (LP: #1409003, #1410830)
  * Don't refocus the dialer-app when a call is started by the user.
    Because of how qtmir works, this would cause the dialer-app to
    unfocus momentarily, causing interface oddities for the user. (LP:
    #1413065)
