Public bug reported:

The dash does not support hyphenation of long application names. There
were already some bugs complaining at least partially about this, see
bug #1015446, bug #900722 and its follow up bug #900722. The latter
proposes:

2b) Alternatively consult a hyphenation/grammar lib for the language in
question. I don't think this is a good solutions as it would add a
potentially large dependency for Unity, and may not include the
necessary hyphenation rules anyway, and finally may not make the nicest
break point even though it follows the rules (E.g. the Danish
Internetprogrammer could grammatically be broken at "Internetprogram-
mer" but for a "head line" type string such as this, it would be nicer
to break it in between the two words it consist of i.e. "Internet-
programmer").

What do you think about using a hyphenation library in unity? The
screenshots from mentioned bugs look quite ugly, I think something needs
to be done.
