Bug Description

Originally reported on Ask Ubuntu (https://askubuntu.com/questions/1266039/networkmanager-gui-problem)

The network manager screen for editing network configuration data in Ubuntu 20.04 is compressed and overlapping text fields incorrectly, resulting in Bad UI.

The attached screenshot is an example of this behavior on a wifi network settings page.

This is a recent issue, it's possible an update to either the theme or some other component of 20.04 resulted in this compressed page view area.
