This bug has been around forever.  It's also present in JuK's delete dialog 
for instance.

I believe it is caused by multiline rich-text QLabels.  So the solution 
unfortunately seems to be either not to use them, wait for the trolls to 
actually fix the bug, or if richtext is required, then to use multiple 
single-line labels stacked as necessary.  Of course, that makes translation 
hard to do. :(
