PCB Editor: Displayed KiCad version length is too long and overruns into date field

Layout

I’m sure I’ve seen a thread about this before but not having any luck finding it.

Running KiCad on Ubuntu and in the PCB Editor the KiCad version that is displayed in the sheet is very long and overrunning into the date field.

Is there a workaround for this? Maybe the length of the field should be trimmed to fit the size of the box in the code?

This is then also visible when exporting to PDF so the date can’t be seen.
