Assumpte: 	[FFOS] Strings fitting in 1.1 no longer fit in 1.2

Dear all,
When starting testing 1.2, I started seeing reports of strings not 
fitting when they were tested and OK in 1.1.
Now I realize that in 1.2 there were some cosmetic changes that impact 
the spacing allowed for the strings.

Have a look at this screen ("Developer") (I'm not sure whether images 
get through):

*IN LATEST 1.1* (grid enabled):

*IN LATEST 1.2* (grid enabled):

(the spacing of the grid also changed so it cannot be compared 1:1, but 
anyway)

As you can see, there are 2 strings fitting in 1.1 that no longer fit in 
1.2.
The issue is even more puzzling after seeing that in 1.2 actually the 
checkboxes (now squared instead of round) are placed *further away* than 
in previous 1.1!

In short: in 1.2 the checkboxes are pushed more to the right (therefore 
allowing more space for the text), but it actually allows *less* space 
for the strings!
If this is a global design issue it impacts most of the screens in the 
product.
That would mean that all the testing done  for 1.1 was completely useless.
You can tell us to "try to shorten the translation", but that is not the 
point (my point is the previous sentence).

What is going on here? Is this a kind of bug?
