In the wheel mouse panel, the translation of the first line of text (longer than
the original english one: "Specify etc.") will be truncated and the box
containing the radio boxes will be truncated too.
I've seen bug 160466, where this panel is supposed to be removed and I'm against
it: while everybody (? :) ) is pondering about such a decision, a quick fix for
this can be implemented.
Looking at similar bugs, I suppose that fixing this could be as easy as removing
<hbox>, but I'm no XUL/js/HTML guru...

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch mozilla
2. Install the Italian lang pack (for example, but I guess it's a common problem)
3. Open Prefrences->Advanced->Wheel mouse panel

Actual Results:  
Text and the box containing the radio buttons in the panel get truncated.

Expected Results:  
Show a beautifully aligned and wordwrapped text, upon a cleary and completely
visible box. :)

This happens under modern theme. I'll test under classic and add a note.
And I can add screenshot if somebody cares.
