That's not it (or at least it's doesn't reproduce it here)

In general, the issue is with GtkLabel + ellipsize + wrap measuring the widget size incorrectly. GtkLabels are beyond broken under multiple containers, see this one for another example #756 (comment)

It has been reported again #719 and again #632 and again #626 and many other times, but unless I get the post (or rather label) actually causing it, reproducibly, I can't really do anything, including creating a minimal reproduction so gtk fixes it or a workaround from our side

Finding which one is actually causing it is also somewhat difficult as you have to play around with the inspector until you figure it out, which is likely to crash a few times. I don't expect anyone to go through that but I'm still throwing it out there just in case

Though, from the looks of it you are also using an older version of Tuba, it might have been fixed on 0.7 🤷

Ahh, thanks for that. You are correct, that was the wrong post. I think I found the correct post that causes it: https://fosstodon.org/deck/@yassie_j@labyrinth.zone/112287918084026585

It looks like since this is a duplicate, it doesn't make sense to keep open.

Thanks for figuring it out!

I'll re-open this as they are mostly case-by-case. I'll see about writing a workaround!

Okay so, GtkLabel reports a larger min width that natural. This can be fixed by removing the overflow workaround but then we need to fix that. So for now, I'll say blocked by https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues/6637 and see how it goes
