big text elided only after a few letters

SUMMARY


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Use Android Kasts app or use desktop kasts app with big "General" font size (e.g. 13pt)
2. Go to an episode's EntryPage
3. Observe big text elided only after a few letters

OBSERVED RESULT

Big text in Podcast title is elided only after a few letters. To see full title you have switch your phone to landscape mode.

EXPECTED RESULT

I would either of the following things to happen.

- Header grows bigger to fit multiple title lines (at least allowing two title lines to exist. Normal desktop font size with two title lines + elision seems to work ok)
- Title is not elided, text is scaled smaller or text overflows header when too much text
- Title in header is elided, but episode description would still show full title
- Title would show as slowly moving text to show full title (some music players or physical radios show titles in that way) 

System info

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

GenericHeader.qml specifies Text.ElideRight for title and has a fixed height in terms of Kirigami gridUnits. Removing the elision might cause text to be cut off even though `fontSizeMode: Text.Fit` is set for title. There is Text.truncated (https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qml-qtquick-text.html) property that would allow us to know when the text is truncated to show it untruncated in the episode details if necessary
