I am running Ubuntu GNOME 15.10 with GNOME 3.18, and I have recently noticed that in the applications list in the "Activities Overview" that if an application's name exceeds that that can be displayed you simply see a "..." at the end, and I would expect that upon hovering over the icon with my mouse I would get the application's full name like I do when doing that anywhere else such as over one of them in the "Favourites" section, but I get no such label when hovering over it, so I think that this simple, expected, and standard feature should be implemented otherwise it is harder to find out the application's full name.

I initially filed a report on it here but was told to also do so upstream: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-gnome/+bug/1502673
