Don't hide useful information from the suggestions list #199029

When the suggest list contains several similar entries, not all information fits unless you increase the width of the list a lot:

In this case, the most useful information I'm looking for is exactly what's missing. I think with the path the most useful info is always at the end, so it would make sense if hide the start, not the end of the path.

With the class name this is a bit more difficult, because the most useful information is not always at the end. But an alternative fix could be to place the name and path on two separate lines, which would look something like this:

Ideally this would be a user preference of course, or maybe only entries that don't fit should be rendered like this.
