Bug Description

On a clean install of Ubuntu 21.10 beta, the "Editor's Picks" include a few recommended applications.

Unfortunately the storefront truncates them to be unreadable.

Further, the truncate is different depending on the window size.

For example:

"Pocket Browser
An open-source browser made for privacy and going towards security"

Can be truncated (when maximised as):

"Po...
An
op"

or (when scaled to the smallest size)

"Pocket Bro...
An open-
source brow..."

or (when slightly larger than the smallest size)

"...
An
..."

or (when slightly larger still)

"Pocke...
An
open-..."

or (when slightly larger, and the side-bar pops up)

"P...
An
o..."

Most of which are completely useless as descriptions. Some applications have better, some worse, but they're all pretty useless until you click on them. A user shouldn't have to click on an application just to find out what the name of it is. The name at the absolute least, should be visible.

Screenshots attached.
