Something like #281810: Label translations truncated in some dialog boxes?
Should the column be resizable?

No translations involved here, as far as I know

or Qt is not so clever and users must use font metrics to compute the best layout

Indeed some translations can be much much larger than expected ...

OK, enough space for my QWERTZ. But that 2nd entry, I don't have that at all, is that a Linux speciality?

Not translation but space for texts

Notice Fedora packagers patch MuseScore with things such that ( I am not convinced by such pratices )

OK, that explains the extra entry. I'd regard it bad practise, adding a feature for no apparent good reason

It should be due to Fedora Packaging rules ... but I don't like to patch a software more than necessary, they also remove files from qrc because it is "better" according the package maintainer
