#14 When function names are too long it's impossible to see
When there are lot of templated class names from
complex C++ program it's hard, sometimes impossible to
see them.
Right now the only way to see them -- in "tool tip"
appearing when mouse is stopped over.
But if it's so long that doesn't fit even in "tool tip"
-- it's no way to see it at all.
Solution -- have tool tips displaying multi-line names.
This is a must to work with kcachegrind in such situation.
Note that long templated names is not a curiosity but
actually quite natural under generic programming approach.

It would be even better if we could right-click any name and copy it to the clipboard. It is not sufficient to *see* long names -- we often need to send them to other people.
"Copy symbol name to clipboard" is a good suggestion, thanks!
The version found in KDE 4.6 has an option to hide template parameters,
and the tooltip will show a symbol in multiple lines.
Anyway, I really should do another release independent from KDE.
I'll keep the bug open to remind my about the clipboard idea.
Double-clicking on the rightmost part of the label will resize the section and make a horizontal scrollbar appear.
