I feel you there - this can be quite a nuisance sometimes (ticket created, internal reference: AP-17797). As a workaround, what I usually do is putting newlines into the Node descriptions, so they become narrower.
@LukasS you could add 1+ for me. I really like to use the auto-align function as well as the description underneath the nodes, so I would very much like to have this feature.
Hi @LukasS +1 for me too (I think that makes at least 20 characters) You can add some Emoji that takes some characters too
EDIT: It looks like this issue is not about giving space to the node description. It also does not consider the length of the node name itself:

@LukasS thanks for working on it, I really appreciate it!
I had the same problem as @mlauber71 too for long custom meta node descriptions.
By the way, if you’re already working on it - I would love to be able to press Enter to Finalize the node description instead of creating a new line. To create a new line, something link Alt + Enter would be suitable. For sure I don’t have everyone with me on this topic, but maybe you can make this adjustable!
@uie63112 You can use Strg+Enter for getting out of the Node description editor (and F2 to edit it again) Some of these settings you can change in File → Preferences → General → Keys
