As suggested by a co-worker of mine over at http://nmi.cs.wisc.edu/node/1098...

On the issues listing pages, if the name of the issue is too long, it is truncated for space reasons. It would really nice (and hopefully really simple) if the full name of the issue was stored as in the title attribute of the link. That way, the user just has to put their mouse over the the link to see the full name instead of clicking through.

This is trivial, so I just rolled a patch for it.

Better yet: only add the title attribute if we truncate.

All browsers have some problems with the title attribute, but except for Firefox, most handle it well enough to make this change useful. Firefox unfortunately limits the length to not much more than the truncated issue name. :-(
