TIP-ish Seeing the Full Right-Click Menu Item

This one drove me crazy (a little bit), until I found it out by accident.

Quite often, in the right-click menu, the listed item (left-column) is longer than displayed. You can't see it. But ... if you click the top-right (same item), it pops to the full item text. The screen capture below couldn't show the full expansion.

No need to click, just hover over the item in the left column.

Yep. That should be the obvious answer, in a consistant UI, and an app proposing to work.

It's interesting (after hovering the left column with no benefit), that hovering the top-right shows a small panel, before clicking. The implied action would be to drag it somewhere. But alas, nope.

Edit: Actually, the small panel (right-col) appears regardless of need. And if an unneeded expansion, a click closes the right-click panel (as if focus mispaced).

Well, anyway at least I can now see the longer entries.

Yep.

But given all the other issues in the software that need attention, my tip works (for me).

Thanks for the report. I'll create a case for our team to investigate.
