The o_row class mechanism is supposed to be used to put another element next to a field, like a button for example. However, in the case of phone and email field, the o_text_overflow hack gets in the way. The problem that o_text_overflow is trying to solve is when you have a long email, the table used to display the form view fields tends to use very long cells (td) so it can display the whole email address. This behavior completely breaks the form view, even though the email address is clearly set to wrap in css. The o_text_overflow class is a hack that forces the table to think that the email is small, then defaulting to the width 50% css rules. If the email is too long, it is correctly wrapped inside the cell, without breaking the form view layout. However, when we need to add a button next to those fields, this hack gets in the way of the o_row class css rules, completely wrecking it. We looked for a fix with qsm-odoo for hours but were unable to find one that did not require a complete rewrite of the form view css rules. In the end, we decided to remove the hack from the phone field and keep it on the email field, as we think it is less common to have a very long phone number than to have a very long email.
