Hello,

I have recently migrated to Jenkins 2, and its Pipeline-as-code and Blue Ocean features. Overall, I am very happy about the improvements.

One thing significantly bothers me: in the graphical Pipeline view of Blue Ocean, all my job labels are truncated (they're too long), as can be seen on the following image:


It's all the more frustrating because I have so much white space on both sides of the image, and Blue Ocean won't use it to display my long labels.

This is a productivity issue for me, because my labels encode the specific configuration (you can see the version of Scala there, but I also have the version of Java and some more exotic parameters that cannot be seen). Because of it, I cannot see at-a-glance which configurations have failed, and what common denominator they have (e.g., all the "main" jobs on Java 6 fail, but not the other ones).

tl;dr How could I configure Blue Ocean for it not to truncate my job labels? Increasing the usage of horizontal real estate would be ideal, but I'll be happy with a solution that takes up more vertical space instead.

Cheers,
Sébastien
