Show full layer name in design specs without ellipsis or add tooltip
In the design specs that can be viewed in a web browser, if you open the specs panel an click on an element in the artboard, the specs panel will show the name of the selected layer.
Problem is, if the layer name is a little longer, it gets cropped with "..." ellipsis and there is no way to see the full layer name. (See screenshot: Our layer name "GENERAL.HEADER.HELP-BUTTON.LABEL" is shortened to "GENERAL.HEADER.HELP-BUTTO...")
Please either change the layout so that the full layer name is displayed.
Or, as a really simple quick fix, add a title attribute to that <span> so that the full layer name can be seen in a mouseover tooltip. (This "feature" could be added with minimal effort.)
(Use case: We are trying to use layer names for text elements to communicate translation IDs to developers and these are often longer than what visibly fits in the specs panel. But regardless of the use case, it's just good practise to add a way to show the full text for cropped texts.)
