            Bug ID: 108495
           Summary: Start Center filename display limit too short
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 5.3.3.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: UI
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

Description:
In my work I have many documents with long names, often with shared prefixes.

Example:
J1 L3 Conversation - What did you you last weekend (2 person version)
J1 L3 Conversation - What did you you last weekend (3 person version)
J1 L3 Conversation - What did you you last weekend (3 person version, v2)

On my system (Kubuntu 16.04 w/ Plasma 5.8), these are cut off after the hyphen
in the Start Center.

Normally I have a file manager (Dolphin) open with many tabs, all set to
"details" view  with a wide filename column. But suppose I wanted to use LO to
open recent documents (on any system). Having to mouse hover over every file to
see the full name would be frustrating, especially as the number of similar
files rises.

The simplest fix would be to wrap the title over 3 lines like the template
manager does. In fact, the amount of whitespace/padding used by both the Start
Center and template manager is quite excessive at the moment.

A better long-term solution would be to add a text-only list view like a
file-manager. Actually, I would prefer this in general, because page previews
are a terrible way to identify text-heavy documents and blank templates. (I
don't know what, if any plans there are regarding development of this UI
component.)

Steps to Reproduce:
Open the Start Center by any method.

Actual Results:  
n/a

Expected Results:
n/a


Reproducible: Always
