Summary

Description

When opening the Remote Projects window, long folder paths are truncated in the middle, making them hard to read. This makes it difficult to distinguish between different folders if they have similar prefixes. It would be helpful to have either a horizontal scrollbar, full path tooltip on hover, or a smarter truncation strategy.
