Not sure if this is a VirtualBox or a Mint 19.1 artifact. It's probably possible to set a width or miniumum width in zenity somehow.

zenity --help-general

shows a width option, however, I think testing on a 'proper' Mint 19 / 19.1 install would be better done first, bearing in mind the issues with the right-click in Nemo in the same VB / 19.1 environment (where one must press F5 to refresh the directory to change the right-click menu).

Bug occurs on Zenity version 3.28.1, default wrap setting for new version has probably been changed.

Simple fix, add --ellipsize to the end of every error message.
