Make full sprite names accessible when list items are truncated #3137

Description

Background

In the sprite list / asset panel, sprite names can be truncated once they become slightly longer.

As shown in the current UI, some sprite names are cut off visually, but there is currently no way for users to inspect the full sprite name.

Problem

This creates a usability issue:

  • users cannot reliably distinguish sprites with similar prefixes
  • users cannot confirm the full name of a sprite after it is truncated in the UI
  • longer names become less useful, even though descriptive naming is often important in larger projects

What Needs Improvement

We should improve the sprite-name display and discoverability in the list UI so that users can always access the full name, even when the visible area is limited.

Possible directions include:

  • show the full name in a tooltip on hover
  • support a better truncation/display strategy
  • provide another interaction that reveals the full sprite name

Expected Outcome

Users should always have a clear way to see the full sprite name, even if the inline UI display is truncated.
