Bug Description
Hello. There's a problem in current MenuLibre on Xubuntu 18.04 and 18.10 with cut off names and descriptions in many, many launcher entries.
Screenshots:
1) https:/
2) https:/
In addition to that, if I click on the cut off name to edit the launcher, it shows the full name, but if I click to edit the description, it still doesn't show the full description in the text field.
See here - https:/
I'm not sure what causes this issue, but when I changed the system language to English, it wasn't occurring anymore.
Launcher names and descriptions in the Whisker Menu are displaying correctly, launcher names in the left side pane in MenuLibre application itself are also OK.

I've just looked at many launchers in MenuLibre and I can confirm what tehkos wrote, seems like this problem occurs specifically when there's a "Polish specific" (in my case) letter with diacritic mark in the name and/or description, so "ę, ó, ą, ś, ł, ż, ź, ć, ń".

Same under tranditional Chinese language.
This bug caused in [GLib.markup_
If called without second argument, the length would fallback to `strlen()` in C. which counts the byte number. However `len()` in python would count character number, resulting in name being cut-off.

Same in russian localization
Look at screenshot.
Instead of "Веб-браузер" there is only "Веб-бр".
And instead of "Смотреть в интернете" there is only "Смотреть в".
All applications with non-latin characters have such reduced titles.
