Category suggestions too narrow / not usable
Closed, ResolvedPublic8 Estimated Story Points

Description

The shortening of suggestions is from the end instead of the middle, thus making a long list of similar suggestions unusable.

While a tooltip is not an adequate solution for most users (mainly power users), there is also no tooltip, and no anchor link or bottom-status-bar trigger. So there is no way to identify which category is being inserted upon click.
