Thanks for reporting.

This is a known issue which has been discussed some in the past as well. I believe there has been some improvements, but it may not be perfect yet. The problem is also affected by translations since some languages are more verbose or use more letters than others.

There is a bug report with more discussion as well as several suggestions, but I couldn't find it at the moment. :( GunChloec: do you remember this one? I could only find bug 1216523, but that has fewer comments than the one I'm thinking of.

PS. I couldn't find a savegame, but for issues like this a screenshot demonstrating the issue should be good enough. (Especially since the building names will be affected by translations so it might not be reproducible by all)

I remember a longer discussion too, but I can't find it either. We should use the narrow font for long building names.

Thanks - this is a different bug from the other one. Something's wrong with the zlevel (ordering of things on screen).

If you still have a savegame, could you please attach it? It will be helpful for this bug.

The fix is buggy, causing animations to sometimes disappear for frames != 0, so removing the fix for Build 20.
