[UX/UI] Inspector zone does not fully displays long texts and can't be expanded easily #1525

Enregistrementdcran_20240523_141215-ezgif com-video-to-gif-converter The descriptive text showed by the inspector when hovering elements is not entirely displayed unless the zone is expanded sideways.

The inspector zone can't be expanded vertically and can only be totally hidden (not shrinked) by using the bar on top of the zone. Whereas the same looking bar on the zone above can be used to expand it vertically.

Improvement suggestion : modify the bar to let the user expand this zone vertically.

For this, Ideally, there should be a defined number of characters for each description, we don't want the user to have to expand their panel vertically and THEN find their way back to what they were pointing at to

As much as this will take MUCH more time.... I think it would be best to review all the “what’s this property” instances in the entire codebase instead of adding another QSplitter, since iirc some of the descriptive text needs to be updated / fixed / added... @jcelerier what do you think?

Also, for the inspector texts, there is a lot of icons/buttons that does not have a proper description and the inspector text is just the name tag of the element.
