Truncating of sensor-names in the device overview

[Roger]

Hello.

I’ve noticed strange/aggressive truncating of “sensor-names” in the Device Overview page, can’t say for sure exactly when this started but it should be a fairly recent update.

Example-picture that maybe explains it better :

Output of ./validate.php:

Fix issue with descriptions on overview page truncating too early by laf · Pull Request #19910 · librenms/librenms · GitHub If you want to test it

Thank you for the patch.

It still truncates weirdly imo. but they’re mostly readable now at least.

The transceiver section still has strange ordering and truncating of the names of the graphs and the “elongated” descriptions under the Temperature section for example are only clickable/hoverable up to what seems to be the 18th character, including spaces.

The truncation is now back to how it was for the last X years.

I’ve pushed a change to fix the hyperlink issue and will merge that in soon.

Thank you.
