What's Wrong?
When a session name doesn't fit in a tab, it gets truncated and suffixed with an ellipsis. This is fine, but the typical UX for these situations is to surface the entire name on mouse over. This doesn't happen:
<img width="584" height="137" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/2c08b47e-4959-4b56-81a1-4991512e116b" />
What Should Happen?
The tooltip should show the complete session name.
Steps to Reproduce
- Create or find a session whose name exceeds the tab width (tabs should ideally auto-expand when there's sufficient horizontal space - separate issue)
- Mouse over
Is this a regression?
No, this never worked
