GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 688984
Application names are truncated
Last modified: 2012-11-24 19:02:37 UTC
I Gnome Shell "Applications" section long names of applications are truncated, and there are no popup hint with full application name. Do something to display application names in full, such as popup hints on mouse over.
I agree with this. In the mean time, you can use this extension: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/416/applications-overview-tooltip/
