Desktop item labels expand and obscure other desktop items on mouseover

[turnick]

If there are two folders adjacent in the desktop and you pass the mouse above the folder top, the folder name appears complete, but it covers the folder below. (Sorry for my english)

When/where does this happen? Do you mean the tooltip that appears when you hover over icons in gnome? You should file this bug against a package in Ubuntu e.g. nautilus when this happens in gnome (not only against the papercuts project).

[turnick (turnickdbz)]

Yes, when the mouse cover the folder and compares the name of the folder. Sorry for my english.

turnick, I'm finding it difficult to understand what is the issue you're trying to describe. Could you please try and update the bug title and description accordingly? For now, the bug report is incomplete. Thanks!

long folder/file names on the desktop are truncated when not selected, however on selection the names are displayed in all their full multi-line glory that may cover icons below them. Selection / deselection toggles the name clipping off and then on again.

To replicate try naming a folder on your desktop as a multi-word phrase ... maybe this sentence.

Yes, I'm sorry for my english, but I don't know very well english! Can I report a bug in italian?

Here is a screenshot demonstrating this bug.

This appears to be more of a deliberate upstream design decision than a trivial usability bug.

[turnick (turnickdbz)]

A little bit also a usability bug, because I cannot read the folder below

that's not a bug, don't mouseover the name if you want to read the folder bellow it
