Filenames are to short in UI3

And it is getting worse. For a long time, we have been using a file naming structure that consists of 1-2 or more Jira issues, such as AB-1234, and the actual project name. This was never a problem in UI2 because we could see the entire name in the tool bar and for any thumbnail when hovering over the tab bar. But now it looks like "AB-1234 | AB-1234 | Filenam...".

There are hundreds of such files, and no one sane would try to rename them. And no one should have to, because it's not right for a tool you've been using for years to suddenly become less convenient and efficient.

Possible solution:
- Change the file name component in the left panel to a text field instead of a single-line input. This seems like an easy fix. No one cares if it’s 1 line or 3, it’s visually ok in both cases, just let us see the whole name without any workaround, like before.
- Stop shortening the name in previews when hovering over the tab bar. As far as I remember, this shortening was added only recently, and it just made things more complicated.

Thank you!
