[confluence] left align addon descriptions

[tamland]

This is causing a lot of weird stretching as people put long links etc. in the descriptions. See for instance info dialog for Rom Collection Browser and KinoPoisk in Info 2 view.

ideally this should be handled by Kodi i think.
ie. when the length of the text exceeds the width of the textbox, it should truncate the text instead of trying to squeeze it in.

i did a bit of testing with align=justify and sometimes the text indeed gets truncated and sometimes it does not. probably our justify logic is a bit flawed.

"System->Appearance->International->Character"
^ gets truncated

"System->Appearance->International->Character set"
^ does not get truncated and weird stretching occurs

Perhaps that was a poor example if it's a bug. Those were the extreme cases. There's clearly visible stretching in almost every description, especially info2, with a few exceptions where it looks ok. These two boxes are just too small for justify align if you ask me.

When you mention it the algorithm looks very funky. It adds space between characters too. I don't think that's normal for justify alignment..

i'm fine with this going in as-is though.

let's hope someone can have a look at the underlying cause of the problem.
