Bug Description

The following was discovered while testing on mako running image #u122.

If a WiFi network's passphrase is too long, it will obscure the "Password" label on the "Network Details" screen unless "Show Password" is enabled. This is due to the size of the dot characters vs. the normal font size used.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Connect to a WiFi WPA network that has a long passphrase ( mine has 22 characters ).
2. Go to System Settings::WiFi
3. Click "Previous Networks"
4. Select the network with the long passphrase

Notice that the password menu item is all dots which obscure the label.

5. Click "Show Password" and notice that the label and passphrase now are both displayed and readable.
