@zeripath commented on GitHub (Oct 5, 2020):

OK basically the issue is that we use .ShortName 20 to deliberately shorten the name to 20 characters.

I've had a look at trying to add class="text truncate" in opportune places but we would need to adjust the y-size of the inline blocks to make sure that the icons aren't clipped and that descenders and ascenders in the text aren't simply clipped.

It's a bit fiddly.
