Long names stay in their box: overview cards and Home's dashboard tiles truncate with the full name on hover, the node panel's flow path and a device id leave half the row to the name field, dialog titles and select items wrap an unbroken name, and a select menu is capped at the room it has; the flow canvas shows a loader until the layout engine has placed the nodes, so a slow link no longer looks like an empty flow
