Public bug reported:

Ubuntu Trusty r188

1. In System Settings, navigate to "About this phone" > "Software licenses".
2. Select a component with a long name, for example account-plugin-facebook or accountsservice-ubuntu-touch-schemas.

What happens:
a. There is no way to read all of the header text.
b. The header text just disappears off the screen edge. If the screen edge happens to be at a character boundary, then apart from any incomplete word, there's no hint that more text even exists.

What should happen:
a. All the header text is readable.
b. If the header text is not fully on screen all the time, there should be an obvious hint of this.

There are several ways this might be solved. For example:
a1. The header might wrap to multiple lines.
a2. The header font size might be reduced just enough for all the text to be shown, at least down to a reasonable minimum.
a3. The text might be scrollable by swiping it left and right.
b1. The text might end in an ellipsis.
b2. The last visible character or two might fade out into transparency.
