The behaviour described in the bug report is either by design, or would be far too complex/time-consuming to be changed

I'm aware of the problem - unfortunately the Windows static text box doesn't support wrapping when there are no spaces. :(

For hidden question label, make the dialog height fixed regardless if the path label wrapped or not, it seems that you make its height a bit small if the path not wrapped.

For wrapped directory name, I suggest showing the directory name only not the full path because the directory name is the important part here, the path can easily known from the main window in the background.
