Bug Description

[EDIT] Master SRU fix covered by (LP: #1771606)

Budgie Extras is a set of python based applets that are either preinstalled or are available to be individually installed. They are exclusive only to budgie desktop users and cannot be installed or run on any other desktop environment.

A number of issues have been raised since the 18.04 release. As part of ongoing 18.04 support the Ubuntu Budgie Team proposes to wrap up fixes on a very targeted basis. In this series of SRU's we have wrapped up DR's that have been classified as LOW by the UB dev team. In addition the scope of the change has been assessed to limit the potential of regression. This is to ensure each SRU request is strictly limited in scope with the risk(s) being easily determinable.

[Impact]

 The Workspace Overview applet shows a dropdown menu. One of its menu options is "Mode" that contains sub-menu items. The padding of this changes depending upon which theme is currently in use. For the default theme Pocillo - there is a relatively large space between the edge of the menu item to the text string. This visually looks strange. The submenuitem should be fixed spacing via a tab-character rather than based on spaces i.e. a space character sizing changes depending on the theme being chosen.

 The impact is for Ubuntu Budgie only and anyone running the budgie desktop together with the Showtime applet.

[Test Case]

 1. Using Budgie Settings, check that on a panel the Workspace Overview applet has been added - please note, the Workspace Overview applet is installed through the package "budgie-workspace-overview-applet"
 2. Open the mode submenu - observe the indentation between the edge of the submenu and the menu strings.
 3. Choose a different theme from Budgie Settings
 4. Repeat 2 - the indentation should be the same between themes.

[Regression Potential]

 * None. This is a visual issue only and has no impact on capability.

 * Ubuntu Team has independently verified that the fix works.

[Other Info]

 None

EDIT:
