[Bug 1052685] [NEW] Unity truncates some translated menu item labels (on French Thunderbird)

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

On a standard French Ubuntu 12.04 install, some menu item labels are truncated in Thunderbird.
On the same machine, if you switch to Gnome classic, the menu labels are not truncated.

The problem happens with Thunderbird 15.0, but it already happened with
Thunderbird 10.0 (in 12.04 alpha)

In Thunderbird, open the menu "Tools" ("Outils" in French). 
The menu "Run Junk Mail Controls on Folder" is translated "Traquer les indésirables dans le dos..."
The menu "Delete Mail Marked As Junk in Folder" is translated "Supprimer les indésirables de ce dos..."

These translations are truncated. The last word should be "dossier" ("folder" in English) instead of "dos..."
In French, the word "dos" means "back" (in a human body). So this truncated translation means "run junk mail controls in your back..."!
I found it funny, but I'm not sure it was on purpose ;-)
