 Replying to [comment:6 kharisblank]:

 The patch isn't weak; it simply might be improved in some way :)

 > If ellipsis would make it worse, all translators should correct and use
 shorter text.

 Hiding text overflow would make it worse, though. For example, if the word
 for "Now" happens to come first in a translation for "Activate Now" or
 "Update Now", the more important word could be hidden/truncated. Trimming
 the overflow would also trim any links that are 121-140 pixels wide;
 however, extending into the padding area within the border should be
 acceptable. Since I only noticed a significant overflow there for a few
 languages' "Update Now" links, I would lean toward editing that text
 instead of the CSS. Doing that would be outside the scope of this ticket,
 so **let's leave that** discussion for another ticket.

 I still would like to increase the right margin of the name and
 description containers (perhaps an arbitrary 130px) to make sure there is
 a small gap between them and the action links. If anyone thinks adding a
 gap makes the name and description containers too narrow at certain screen
 sizes, I support committing the first patch as it is.
