This *is* a problem. I have seen game phases where this is really ugly.
One cause are other longer description texts. For instance, [Pollution]
in combination with others. More shortening is needed IMHO.

Also, Jason suggested to forbid resize when the window gets smaller.
This would be at least a temporary fix for all those problems.
