In the nautilus compressor dialogue descriptions are cut off on X11 22.04 LTS

[Petros Schaffrath]

Hello,

I found a bug in the nautilus file archiver/compressor feature. If you right click on a file/folder, then go to "Compress" then you will see the corrupted descriptions when you select the package format (.zip etc.) I made a screenshot of it. At least in German and maybe in other languages where you have a long description text.

According to my tests it happens
- only on X11, not on Wayland
- on every scaling factor (100% original, 150% fractional, 200%)

I read the changelogs of nautilus and it seems that this bug was fixed in nautilus 42.5:
"* Really fix the cropped compress format popover on X11 (Ondrej Holy)"
Source: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/-/blob/gnome-42/NEWS
(nautilus on Ubuntu Jammy uses only version 42.2)

So it would be nice if this patch could be transferred to Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, because I currently can't read the descriptions.

With best reagards

This is the patch which was applied in the gnome-42 branch of nautilus:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/-/commit/441124cfef1b95623ac182f818a761ace8d1258c

It was fixed with the release of nautilus 42.5, but it is still in buggy in 22.04 because Jammy uses nautilus 42.2.
