Any way to add text-overflow: ellipsis to the row-title element? #366

Just cant understand why this isn't a default.

When a user defines a width in the Title column, text-overflow ellipsis should auto kick in showing a [...] following the left out text... And if we wanted to get even spiffier, we could add an overflow to things and allow user to show the full title on hover.

Example below:

title-element a {
  white-space: nowrap; 
  /*width: 100px;  //width will be define by user */
  overflow: hidden;
  text-overflow: ellipsis;
}

title-element a:hover {
  overflow: visible;
  z-index: 20;
}
