#1424: Long help strings can't be seen at all

    Severity:  Major      |       Keywords:  help text wrapping
Distribution:  OLPC       |   Status_field:  Unconfirmed       
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 The help strings that should appear on the help tab whenever you hover a
 block don't show when the string is too long.

 One solution that works OK is to activate the line wrap property of the
 help text label (patch attached).

 The funny thing is the way that strings are wrapped once this property is
 activated (screenshot attached). They don't take all the available space,
 they wrap half way through. I suspect the label widget is not expanding
 itself along the toolbar.
