Devices overflowing the places panel

SUMMARY
As it stands devices with long names result in a horizontal scroll bar in the places panel. This also throws off hard drive space reporting as you have to scroll all the way to the right or resize the places panel to see how much of the bar is really filled up.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Get a long device name (easiest way is probably to fuse mount a directory, or create a mapping between the host and the system via docker)

OBSERVED RESULT
See attached screenshot

EXPECTED RESULT

My thoughts are that, there should be no horizontal scrollbar, and one of the following should occur:
- The device gets a cleaned up name that's not so long
- The device name gets truncated i..e "/var/lib/docker/over..."
- The device name scrolls when hovered over

Presumably a tool tip would also be available so the full name can be observed on hover.

Definitely seems like something VDG could come up with a good solution for :)
