Bug Description

Hi,

Ubuntu 20.04, default.

In the global app-menu ( full screen grid view ) app'names are truncated, only displayed on one line.

There is enough room to display them on two or three lines under each icon.

Maybe it's not a big readability concern in English but it is in French and I guess in German and other languages as many app's start with same first words, i.e. Gestionnaire de… / Éditeur de… / Libre Office…
