Merge lp:~fboucault/unity-2d/proper_multiline_text into lp:unity-2d

[Florian Boucault]

[dash] Implemented multi line text properly:
- multiline text not fully displayed is now elided
- not displayed lines are not clipped but simply never shown

Fixes bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity-2d/+bug/901491

This is an improvement on the current situation so I would be happy to merge this.

Comparing with Unity however, it lays out multiline text like:

this is a very long filename which
...avoiding a truncation.ext

Hovering over it doesn't cause it to expand.

You have any comments on this? Could you run it by John?

It's a Unity 2D specific behaviour indeed. John is not very happy with it and would like a better solution but also considers it's definitely not a priority at the moment. Bottom line, we can keep it as it is.

Ok, in it goes.
