[PVP.net] Game Mode = Cla...

After signing in to PVP.net, clicking on Play -> Summoner's Rift 5v5 will result in a comical text error, where the game mode/map is listed as:

Cla... Summoner's Rift

After pointing it out to my play group (4 people total), everyone else had the same issue.

As you flip through different game modes, the issue sometimes repairs itself, but sometimes the game mode is abbreviated at a different point. For example, if you click on ARAM, then Classic, then Twisted Treeline 3v3, then "Classic" will be abbreviated to:

Clas... The Twisted Treeline

If you then click on ARAM again, then Classic again, the full Classic will be listed again... but then, clicking on Summoner's Rift 5v5 will give you "Clas..." again.

You can also afflict Dominion with this bug. From login, clicking on Play -> Dominion -> The Crystal Scar 5v5 will result in "Domi...", whereas clicking on Play -> ARAM -> Dominion -> The Crystal Scar 5v5 will result in "Do...".

In short, the game is using an elipsis to abbreviate the game mode text, but is completely wrong about how it calculates the length of text to show before abbreviation. Somehow, the past history of what how much text was shown in that spot is affecting how much text it is willing to show before abbreviating it for the current screen.

Noticed this about 3-4 days ago as well its been that way since the patch. Seems like they werent entirely ready for this patch to come out, considering all the bugs. Patience is a pretty good thought
