Bug Description
Backround:
English is one of the most compact written languages. As a result, translations are often longer than the original message.
This becomes a problem in ubuntuone-
Preferred solution:
Make buttons expand in size depending on the text on the label. As can be seen from the screenshot, there is plenty of room for the buttons to expand to the left, and this was taken on an 10.1' netbook.
Easiest solution:
Keep everything as it is, but add a translators comment to all relevant strings, specifying the length restrictions that apply to that particular string.
The relevant strings marked in the screenshot are:
"Bestandssynchr
"Verbinding verbreken"
And the English source text is:
"File Sync starting..."
"Disconnect"

I'm happy that - as suggested - the buttons expand to the left and push the upsell button and storage to the left along with it.
I assume that this can be done in code and no further UI work is needed.
