[Bug 1843984] [NEW] iubuntu dash truncate the name of all application searched - no way to see the complete name

[betteropensource]

Public bug reported:

I installed avidemux, which installed two packages with the same initial part of their names: avidemux2.7_jobs_qt5 and avidemux2.7_qt5.
By clicking SUPER, the Dash will appear. If I search for "avidemux" the two elements appear but because of the name truncated, I can't differentiate them, either are showed with the name "avidemux 2.7 (".
Right-clicking on one of these there is the "details" option but it bring me to the "ubuntu software" application that does not recognize the application saying "application not found".
I think that the choose to truncate the application name in the Dash is simply a design bug.
This is very annoying: there is enough space to see the compllete name, instead of truncate it to the preview image size...
