Summary0009960: Extended/Truncated track or bus names should be shown upon a mouse hover in the editor, not "Track/Bus name..."
Description-See the attached gif.

Maybe it's just on macOS, but when you hover over a track or bus' name (in the editor) you simple see exactly this:
"Track/Bus name (double click to edit)"

I think this is somewhat pointless given situations where a name is *truncated* because it's too long.
Thus, instead I suggest it should be made to be more helpful like so:
"[Actual Track/Bus Name Here] (double click to edit)"
Additional InformationIt's frankly hard to cram track/bus names into such a small number of characters.
-So ensuring that when it IS truncated that a simple mouse-hover will reveal the full-name (instead of double-clicking) would be a nice, helpful touch!

Thanks for reading,
