1.) Make the window small.
2.) Type something into the Megabar
3.) Hover over the Search Engine results
4.) Take a look at the right side

Actual: No fade effect. The text is very close to the border.

Expected: A fade effect like the history items would be nice. Or 1px or 2px padding would be also okay :)

Thanks.

Fade effect will probably cause blurry fonts, as gray-scale anti-aliasing method will be used, instead of sub-pixel anti-aliasing method. See meta bug #1307833 and its dependencies, especially bug #1370064, which will probably cause similar effect here. It also won't be accessibility compatible GUI, because this regression, so I'm against it.

Let's change only padding and maybe at last resort add "..." on input exceeding visible area, like it's in "Library" button menu and sub-menus, instead of fade effect.

Sounds great. Thanks in advance :)
