Keyboard shortcuts overlay text too long

[Alan Pope 🍺🐧🐱 🦄]

[Inpact]
The shortcut overlay window listes some truncated keybindings and descriptions although there's enough horizontal space to show them all.

[Test case]
The test case for this bug depends a lot on the locale used and thus there's not an universal way to verify it, this is generally valid for English locale but should apply to others as well:

1. In Unity Control Center -> Appearance -> Behavior enable the workspaces
2. Hold down the super key unless the shortcut overlay window is not show (if it's
   supported, minimum resolution is 1366x768)
3. Both the keybindings and the descriptions should not be ellipsised if there's enough
   horizontal space to present them, for example the "Super + Alt + Cursor ke.."
   keybinding should be instead "Super + Alt + Cursor keys"

[Regression potential]
The view might be too large in some locales and thus not to show at all, although we should generally handle this as it used to be before.

----------

When I hold down Super I get a popup image detailing the shortcut keys. There are a few issues with this image which I have filed as separate bugs.

Workspaces Text too long to fit. I see "Super + Alt + Cursor ke.." Which I presume should say "Cursor keys"

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

This is a problem with translated texts too as german text for example is usually longer than english text.

[Bence Lukács (lukacs-bence1)]

It's a problem with hungarian texts too.

Sorry, here is the screenshot.

This is really ugly, affects multiple languages and VERY visible so I think this should be fixed BEFORE the release!

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

@Simeon: it's a no way a release blocker, we have hundred of annoyances and graphical issues that would be nice to fix and we will sort them over time, it just doesn't seem realistic that will be fixed during the hard freeze

Why does Unity not apply the new translation strings for the overlay?

https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/quantal/+source/unity/+pots/unity/de/+translate?batch=10&show=all&search=linke+oder+rechte e.g does not seem to work. It does still use the old strings.

The version in trusty-proposed fixes the problem. At least that's how it looks for me on 1920x1080 resolution and Polish language.
