Subject: [PATCH] fix(gui): keep the launcher preview at its fixed width

A wrapping label asks for its whole text on one line as its natural
width, so a long location in the preview pane widened it, squeezed the
results list and stretched the window. Cap the preview labels' natural
width, limit detail values to three lines with a tooltip for the full
location, and keep the pane from taking extra width.
