Title:
  Unnecessary horizontal scrolling in Additional Drivers page

Status in “software-properties” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The Additional Drivers page generally has a short list containing
  options with long labels, such as "Using X.Org X server - AMD/ATI
  display driver wrapper from xserver-xorg-video-ati (open source,
  tested)". Some of these labels are very similar for the first 50
  characters or so.

  Many labels go well beyond the default width for the dialog, resulting
  in a horizontal scrollbar. Meanwhile, there is all sorts of vertical
  space that could easily accommodate the information. It would be
  easier to work with this dialog if the labels were word wrapped,
  instead.
