[JENKINS-24687] Broken job list if build name is extended

The left side job list has been broken after I installed latest (1.579) version. I use extended build number as shown in attached screenshot. This extension is https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Version+Number+Plugin

This is not the same issue as ~~JENKINS-24589~~. Firstly: in my case is used Version Number Plugin And the issue is still reproducing (jenkins 1.613)

See screenshot.

Alright. So this isn't related to anything I changed and I don't have time to "fix" it and I can't justify to my work that I should find time. That said, I did take a peek at it.

For anyone who wants to look at it, something like the following could work.

a.model-link.inside {
text-overflow: ellipsis;
width: 100%;
white-space: nowrap;
overflow: hidden;
max-width: 100px;
display: inline-block;
}

But it has side effects and potential side effects:

It shrinks the progress bar in some cases
You cannot read the entire name because it is no longer wrapped and shows ellipses
The part you can read is the least significant part (like the year). (May be fixable with more CSS but that may look weird, so you could add more markup and even more css to try and compensate)
On the job page, you really only have 9 characters of space to work with (ellipses take up two of those)

Someone else can consider these issues. I don't agree with making the build name long. Please don't reassign to me.
