Nate,

You don't have to increase the DPI in order to reproduce this issue. All that is necessary is to increase the default font-size, as I show here:

Hopefully, you agree that people should be able to increase the font-size of their desktop environment and that dialogs should be able to accommodate those larger font-sizes in a reasonable way. To me, ellipsifying should be a last resort way for dealing with larger font-sizes (especially given that there is not tool-tip to even reveal the entirety of what's been ellipsified). Utilizing available screen space should come before ellipsification. Yes, I'm making these words up as I go, but you know what I mean.

I'll take your advise on reporting those other issues as well. However, I firmly believe that what I'm reporting here is a legitimate inflexibility, (minor and petty as it seems).
