Add tooltips or scrolling text inside the jobs in the workflow views

My team has a fairly complex build system with many steps that have similar names. Unfortunately, the UI truncates anything longer than 25/26 character, and this isn't enough to identify which job is which. There is 1 workaround that's less than ideal, and another that's not possible in all scenarios. The first is to inspect the html and see the full text. The other is when you have an approval button, clicking on that will show the full name, but that's not possible when you want an automated step.
A simple on-hover text that shows the full name would make this less annoying. Other options are larger boxes (align them all to the largest job name?) or adding a horizontal scroll when the text doesn't fit within the box.
See attached screenshot for the problem with these small boxes.
