This is the same issue as T70571, where this has been declined (the suggested solution is to make the button labels shorter). The abandoned patch https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/160812 would probably still work.

The solution would be not to absolutely center the title if it can't fit.

Before	After

Thanks, Bartosz. The current behavior is clearly undesirable (useless or partially overlapping dialog titles); we may need to do both (shorten some button labels and optimize placement). I defer to @Jdforrester-WMF on the final approach.

Same at the German Wikipedia (check the Saving dialog). The French workaround to this one was changing the equivalent of "Save your changes" to "Contribution"...

This just became worse with the new design, IMHO.

"tempfile.ru" is not very reassuring about the lifetime of these links, so let's copy here.

Worth a User-notice, I think? I believe this improves our UI in several languages significantly. :)

And makes it look worse in others. We'll need to test it post-release to see what further tweaks we need to make VE-side.

Well, no, it doesn't change anything except for the case where the label would be clipped.

	Normal label	Long label
Before
After

The main place people encounter this is where all three labels are very long; this "fix" doesn't actually help them.
