Comment 1 Santhosh Thottingal 2011-10-19 14:23:04 UTC 
If we want to avoid crossing the border, we need to have css word-wrap: break-word; 
But it may not be desirable for many languages to break the word at arbitrary position.
Comment 2 Andre Klapper 2013-05-03 16:03:35 UTC 
German translation for "Datenbankeinstellungen" is now (1.22 from git master) "Einstellungen zur Datenbank" but the issue can still happen when I change it to a long string without linebreaks locally.

Not sure if something useful could be done here. Allowing text overflow still seems to be better than just cutting it off.
Comment 3 Bawolff (Brian Wolff) 2013-05-03 16:57:00 UTC 
We could increase the width of the box
