Thanks for the feedback! This patch indeed shortens the max width a bit, so it's likely the culprit. 

Could you guys try changing 

property int preferredTextWidth: units.gridUnit * 20

to 25 or 30 and see if that fixes the problems? I'd like to not make it too wide, so we'll need some testing here, I think.
