With a large number of tags, many tag names are longer than the column width of the Filter panel and get truncated with an ellipsis). There is currently no way to see the full tag name without widening the panel, which would not be an efficient use of space given how many tags exist.
Describe the solution you'd like
Rather than widening the Filter panel, add a way to reveal the full tag name on demand. On desktop, a mouse-over tooltip showing the complete tag name would be a straightforward solution.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Widening the filter column was considered, but with this many tags (and this level of naming detail), it would not scale well and would take up too much horizontal space just to accommodate the longest tag names.
Open question
A hover tooltip does not help on touch devices (phone/tablet), where there is no mouse-over. Is there a better solution that works consistently across both input methods, e.g. tap-and-hold to preview, wrapping to a second line instead of truncating, or an expandable list view? Open to whatever fits Noodle's design best.
Impact
Right now, many tags are hard to distinguish from each other in the Filter panel because their distinguishing detail (dates, locations, event names) is exactly the part that gets cut off. This makes tag based filtering unreliable for large, detailed tag sets.
