As seen in Alfred 5.1 [2133], some workflows that have long descriptions and options (e.g. ChatFred) cause text to not wrap or be cut off:

I'll take a look at improving this on the import.

 

This is a good indication that we need better documentation on how to use the UI config too, as in this example, the checkbox text is not following best practices. In this case, the checkbox text should really be "Always save the conversation to file", as that is how a screen reader (VoiceOver) would see the option.

 

In this case, it would be best to have the label on the left as "Persistence" or "History", the checkbox as "Always save the conversation to file", then the first paragraph of the subtext as "Useful for not forgetting ChatFred's reply". Also, by keeping the labels / groupings as succinct, it will leave more space for the content of the preferences.

That would be really helpful!
