[PE-D][Tester D] Students with long names do not display fully #289

Steps to recreate:

  1. add a student with a very long name
  2. add a second student with the same long name but change a few characters near the end
  3. finding by name will now return both but as the user won't be able to differentiate both since the other fields besides the ID can be the same.

As seen in the 7th and 8th entry in the screenshot attached, the name of the student has been cut off with .... This would hinder the user should the user want to search by name and multiple students have the same first name with a long surname which is currently being cut off. While STUDENT_ID can be used, it is unlikely that a user will remember the ID of each student he/she has added since the app supports up to 99999 students. Note that the name already has fewer than 255 characters and this can occur.

can use detail to view the complete name. Add the note in UG somewhere to mention.
