Hello,  
When there is a new topic and you look in ‘_new_’ the dots in my opinion should be aligned all the same. When it goes to the left it looks messy.

In long title cases the title should be

I think we’re already doing something to prevent it from wrapping onto its own line on desktop, so I can do something similar for mobile too.

This should be all set with this change:

[https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/c60182cdb22d02b4e9215443c8ad45c69fd7fc3c](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/c60182cdb22d02b4e9215443c8ad45c69fd7fc3c)

We were missing an additional wrapping `span` on mobile that was necessary for the previous fix made on desktop to work.
