Current Italian localization of OPTIONAL_COMPONENTS_DESC is "Il servizio di manutenzione consente di installare gli aggiornamenti di $BrandShortName senza bisogno di interventi da parte dell'utente.", which should be around 130 characters. The result is shown in the attachment: the string is cut before character #100

According to notes in installer/custom.properties I can't add a new line on my locale.
"You can use \n to create a newline in the string but only when the string from en-US contains a \n."

Is it possible to make that line wrap? I can try to shorten that string somehow, but the resulting translation would be less clear for users (and that's an important piece of information). I also suspect that this issue involves other locales, not only Italian (maybe German and French, they're around 100 characters long).

I have the same "issue" with the German setup.

I need to check the UI so holding off on requesting review until after I have done this.

Adding tracking flags.

Drivers, this causes locales with longer than en-US text to have the text cut-off for the description of the maintenance service in the installer. It is only shown during a custom installation.

Did the text in some of the locals changed? For e.g the text on the Italian Installer is different between Firefox 12 beta 5 and Firefox 13 beta 6.
Verified using Firefox 13 beta 6 on Windows 7 and on Windows XP that the text from the Installer that refers to the Maintenance service is complete.
