The checkboxen in the save dialog wrap poorly if the texts are too long
Closed, ResolvedPublic1 Estimated Story Points

Description

VisualEditor: in the saving dialog, the "Watch this page" box can move to the next line with very large spacing between the lines. This happens in languages where it's longer than it is in English.

Here's a screenshot of the problem (in Russian):

Possible solutions include:

  • Putting these boxes on separate lines form the start.
  • Making the line spacing smaller. This is a bit problematic, because the text of the second box may appear under the second, and this may be confusing.
