Word wrap in Shell launcher

I’m using Ubuntu, but I tried Fedora as well. GNOME 49.

The names of the apps in the Shell launcher are cut with ellipsis, causing a suboptimal experience for the user. See screenshot (ignore AppImageLauncher, I think the mouse was on it).

The app names should allow multiline text with word wrap if possible, or, if not possible, hard-wrap by a character boundary.

At least this should be an option the user can choose, but personally I think it should be by default active.

Should I file a feature request/bug report? I see as bug of the interface design, but others might not.
