Task titles in Reports/Overview:Tasks break on mouse_over when too long/too short for second line

[r0ckarong]

Where: Reports / Overview:Tasks
Summary: Certain task names are just too long/too short and cause weird line breaking behavior.

To Reproduce:
The Overview portlet displays a small arrow (like so >) at the end of the task which the mouse pointer hovers over. Some tasks are just a few characters too long (or too short to warrant two lines) and cause the task title field in the list to expand to two lines on mouse over. This only appears to be a problem with the Overview:Tasks portlet in the Reports section since it's a bit narrower than the regular one in the normal Overview.

Expected Behavior:
All titles long enough to reach the end of the portlet should break into two lines after a certain amount of characters to allow for the indicator arrow to be displayed correctly.

Actual Behavior:
Some titles that just fit into one line are broken into two lines on mouse_over. This looks terrible and moves around other list elements.

Additional Information:
Apparently some space gets reserved at the end of each line to display the arrow on mouse over (anywhere in the list). This space apparently causes titles that have just the right length to "break" into a new line. This causes the list entries to appear to be jumping around whenever the mouse is moved inside and out of the list.

One of the cases where this happened was a task named:

Improve wisdome connector: issuesubject and external resolving

When the space for the indicator arrow is added the title breaks after "external" (52 characters in).

The title breaking into secondary/tertiary lines should kick in one word earlier or at around 50 characters so that the arrow has enough space to be rendered and the hopping stops.
