my idea is to wrap within the column of text in the menu.  e.g. the
3rd column of text.  like reflowing.  it seems better than all other
solutions i came up with.

to me, the problem with truncation is that it requires horizontal
scrolling.  in my case, vertical scrolling is preferable to horizontal
scrolling.

by analogy, consider websites with pars that do not reflow.  if you
use large text, and every line goes past rhs.  then you have to
horizontally scroll both right and left for every line of the
paragraph.

with text columns, this can sometimes be less of a problem, if you can
fit a column, but it is a problem if long lines exist in a single
column, or if you want to compare columns line by line.

horizontal scrolling is useful on general principles, if combined with
toggle truncate lines, so i like the idea of adding it, but it does
not solve this particular problem.
