overlapping text on dashboard

Translation cases listed on the dashboard have overlapping text snippets near the bottom of their box. The text indicating the time of the last edit protrudes over the lower end of the text indicating the from/to languages. Observed on Firefox 38.

Can you tell what was the interface language? A screenshot will defnitely help(You may upload anywhere and share link here). Thanks!

Can you please post a screenshot?

It appeared with all interface languages I tried. Definitely with English and German.

Sorry, I cannot reproduce this. I see something reasonable: http://imgur.com/hEt4X81

You probably have a different configuration, so we need a screenshot.

(I get server errors when I try to write more than a few words here atm.)

I think I can explain what happens: The boxes that serve as list items in the list of saved translations have a fixed height. The text indicating the time of the last edit (i.e. "a day ago") is aligned to the bottom, the rest flows down from the top. With little screenspace and longer page titles to be rendered into the box, those wrap around and reach down into the time text. (The strangely wrapping text here also adds to the confusing look of the dashboard critisised somewhere below. Maybe I add some details to that thread on what I think is wrong there.)

I have screenshots handy, but there's "error contacting the server" when I try to save a URL here.

I would have uploaded my nice PNG source files on the wiki here, but unfortunately only players of levels "automatically confirmed" and up are allowed to do this...

I'll try and mask the URLs here. Please reconstruct manually:

Wanna know how deep the rabbit hole really goes?..

Playing around with it and the knowledge of what's causing the problem, we can reveal even more problems:
