Tab hover tooltip adds line breaks unintuitively #307

When you're editing a file with a long absolute file path, the tab hover tooltip inserts line breaks in unhelpful places. It seems to only break when either the line hits a maximum number of characters or there's a space in the path. The problem with this is that it breaks up individual directory names across lines, which can be hard to read at a glance. Forward slashes seem like a more natural place to break a file path. Maybe these could be added as possible line break locations? Screenshot shows an example of a visually confusing file path tooltip.

Unfortunately, there is currently no way in CSS to tune line breaking rules by specifying, for example, that a line break is permitted after a certain character wherever it appears in the text.
