The settings menu does not fit on a 4:3 monitor #2233

Describe the bug

The settings menu does not fit on a 4:3 monitor 1280x1024px destop size. Please allow line wrapping in settings text items. So that the entire menu fits on the screen without going beyond it.

Manjaro Linux KDE, but I think the problem does not depend on DE.

I am not sure if the aspect ratio is to blame. However, I am coming from a system that supports a native resolution of 2560x1600 (16:10) and of which I often set to 1920x1080 (16:9). I have not tested a 4:3 resolution, and definitely haven't tested 1280x1024, where you seem to be having problems. However, I believe that the window should fit in higher 4:3 resolutions, so now that I am saying this, the aspect ratio does not correlate.

If you tried a 1920x1440 resolution system, then the window should fit as the elements would seem to appear smaller in that configuration. So the 4:3 aspect ratio is not really to blame.

It's not really a resolution issue, the underlined text in the image makes it look more like a combined issue of translated text being too long and the layout being unable to cope with unexpectedly long text. Haven't touched glade in a bit but I'm sure there's probably a button in there to allow for text wrapping, I would assume that this issue is mainly due to what appears to be checkbox labels not being allowed to text wrap. If this is just a gtk option this is probably just an easy thing to change in glade.
