Looks ok on Linux.

@Magnus How does it look on Linux? Different text? Wider button? Smaller font? Taller button with text in multiple lines?

Linux.

Gentle ping to Micah to see if he can reproduce this on macOS, and if you can please investigate if it's an easy fix.
Maybe the dialog is too small? Weird that it doesn't resize to fit those strings.

I see this on Mac. In Mac Display settings I have non-default size set for Text

Please consider other languages with possibly much longer texts as well. Mine's in hungarian and it is probably even worse.

"probably": You can confirm by selecting Help menu> Troubleshoot mode…> (dialog opens)> Restart button, which will reveal the offending dialog with overflowing button text. From there you can select the "Quit" button, by which you avoid actually triggering Troubleshoot mode or causing any other consequences. Hopefully those instructions translate directly to the Hungarian version.

I can confirm that the situation still exists in 115.12.2 (American English).
