Description
This only happens if you search in the file browser.
Another very small issue is that if the file name is long enough to need two lines, it will push the text directly to the border of the next search result. This makes the result page look inconsistent.

Research direction
The issue names no file or test; first reproduce the clipping and inconsistent spacing in the file-browser search results, then trace the relevant rendering entry point. Done means long filenames no longer obscure the file size or modified date, and wrapped results retain consistent spacing.
