Size of "Evaporation" much smaller than in published

Test device MacBook Air (m1 chip)

Operating System 13.1

Browser Safari 16.2

Problem description For https://github.com/phetsims/qa/issues/889, the size of the word "Evaporation" is much smaller in this version than in the Published. In Published, the words "Evaporation" and "Solute" are the same size.

From @arouinfar on Slack:

Looks like an unintended consequence of dynamic layout. My guess is that “Evaporation” doesn’t have an appropriate maxWidth and it is automatically shrinking to fit in the panel. I don’t see why we would intentionally make the text smaller than the published version.

@pixelzoom would you like to investigate this?

[pixelzoom]

Fixed in the above commit. Screenshots below for normal and stringTest=double. @Nancy-Salpepi please review in master, close if OK.

I noticed there is still a

console.log( `labelText.width=${labelText.width}` );

[pixelzoom]

Thanks. console.log removed.

[Nancy-Salpepi]

Looks good. Thanks! Closing.

Reopening to confirm in https://github.com/phetsims/qa/issues/894. It looks like changes I made during dev testing did not get into the 1.7 release branch.

@samreid @matthew-blackman FYI.

[pixelzoom]

Still fixed in 1.7. Closing.
