This is a general problem, not a specific bug.

Currently the resource name in the boxes are elided to the end. Therefore there is no way to distinguish between longer resource names that are similar and only have a difference in the ending of the name.

In the last sprint we already discussed a bit, how to solve that problem:
- one idea has been an eliding in the middle of the name
- another idea was to show the full name in the context menu

I guess we need a solution for this issue anyway - any more/better ideas on that?
