Changing the status to resolved, the patch above has greatly greatly greatly improved the situation in many cases.
It doesn't look 100% perfect but in the case of long labels many now look fine.

Please reopen if some labels still cause issues once this is deployed.
As said in the commit the real fix here will come with the new UI etc.

A qualifier name that spans 2 lines is fine since I reduced the line height. But longer names still break the layout. I tried to find an easy fix for this multiple times, but it's very hard to do because these elements are positioned absolutely.
