Expected Behavior

The color scheme names should remain fully visible after resizing, or an accessible mechanism (e.g., tooltip on hover/focus or expandable view) should be provided to reveal the complete name.

Actual Behavior

After applying resize settings, color scheme names are truncated and not fully visible. No tooltip or alternative mechanism is available to reveal the complete name.
