I debugged this and it looks to me like this is a bug in the underlying iced framework when using Alignment::Center for a SegmentedButton, which is used in the display tabs in the "Displays" page and the "Wallpaper" page. Changing it to Alignment::Start could be used as a workaround for this issue, but aligns the text to the left, which looks kind of ugly to me.

I am completely new to Cosmic DE, libcosmic and iced. Can some Cosmic DE developer confirm that I am on the right path? If so, I might put in the effort to get a patch implemented and upstreamed for iced.
