Comment:

 The patchwork links are ::

 http://patchwork.sugarlabs.org/patch/536/

 Tested the two patches (in as such forms), by applying them on
 sugar(mainline, master), and sugar-toolkit(mainline, master) respectively.
 It worked as expected.





 The only thing that annoyed me a bit was that I could not reproduce the
 problem :D
 So, I modified "line 166 of /sugar/src/jarabe/frame/clipboardmenu.py" from

 name = self._cb_object.get_name()

 to

 name = 'veryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy veryyyy veryyyyyyyyyyyyyyy veryyyyy
 arbittt longggg nameee'


 and then I could reproduce the problem, as detailed by tonyforster, and
 mikus.






 After applying the patches, the text was appropriately ellipsized, and the
 palette did not shoot over to the top.




 CCing erikos, and sascha.

 If good enough, these two patches could be pushed (after fixing the typo).



 erikos, kindly reply with comments :D :D
