This bug was found in translations only and is not visible in original English
version.

If the text (name of the skill or its short description) is longer then width of
the Skill window, the text continues on the next row over the window border and
picture/icon of the skill.

Example:
1) Skill name "Check system integrity" in Czech or Brazilian translation
2) Skill name "Emergency shutdown" in Brazilian translation
3) Short description of "Repair equipment" in German or Brazilian translation

Possible solutions:
1) rewrite the translations and find shorter name or description of the skill.
This could fix the issue but could downgrade translation quality (meaning of the
description or name)
2) Implement text wrapping and alignment in the game source code to allow usage
of long text.

I saw similar issue for too long text in Character window (visible in German and
French translations but other might be affected as well). But here a shorter
translation text is probably the preferred way of issue solution

Fixed in commit a2f9702cad
Too wide texts are now ellipsized or autoscrolled.
