App drawer app name line separation

[Marv]

Whenever you open the app drawer and an app has a name that is long than one line it attempts to separate it in an odd, non-grammar-conforming way (neither for German nor English). For example, the app "Simplenote" is not divided into "Simple-" and "note" but rather into "Simplenot-" "e" which looks rather odd and unpolished.
Even if my appdrawer does not use the default ubuntu font it should correctly separate.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

I'm setting the status of this bug to 'Incomplete' as it doesn't include any information about which desktop environment, flavour or release of Ubuntu you are using. The term 'appdrawer' is somewhat ambiguous without knowing which desktop environment you are using.

Please provide additional information about your Ubuntu installation so that this bug report can be assigned to a specific package, rather than the Ubuntu project in general, and be brought to the attention of a developer who can assess your issue further.

This affects Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS and the app overview or application launcher. The issue is also present when changing font (sizes) through Gnome tweak tool.

Thanks for the bug report.

This hyphenation (which only seems to happen at display scale 100%) appears to be correct. There is no other way to fit a long word in a confined space. But I think you're suggesting a more grammatically correct location for the hyphen, and I'm afraid that's not feasible because it needs to be done by simple text formatting code that does not understand/interpret English.

If there is any solution here then I suggest it should be fixed in the Simplenote app - ask the author to insert a zero-width space (unicode U+200B) between "Simple" and "note" so that GUIs will automatically break it in the correct location.
