Bug Description

See http://imgur.com/EZ1lqUI and http://imgur.com/RPRe8Bm

Probably this will happen in other languages as well. We need feedback from design to decide how to solve the issue.

UX Solution:
There are a few potential solutions, that need to be picked on a case by case basis:

1) By default, the action could have a max width of 2x the default width, but the app developer can decide to change that to a custom width value
2) By default, The SDK should add a semitransparent gradient like at the end of the browser URL when it exceeds the available width
3) The translator could come up with a different label. See http://goo.gl/qj6Pgi or shorten the label eg. compartil.

Please advise if we should remove the text, make the text smaller, increase the padding of the buttons, or assume that the translators will come up with a shorter translation?

The standard icons in the header no longer have text, and the edit mode is completely different now (see "extending the header" on https://developer.ubuntu.com/en/blog/2016/02/24/pageheader-tutorial/ ). So this bug is no longer relevant.
