"textContent": "**Suggestion**\n\nI’ve run into a usability issue with the branch selector in the Codex app when branch names are long and similar.\n\nRight now, long branch names are truncated in the branch dropdown. That becomes a real problem when multiple branches share the same prefix, because I can’t clearly tell which branch is which. There also doesn’t seem to be a hover state, tooltip, horizontal scroll, or any other way to view the full branch name.\n\nAs a result, selecting the correct branch becomes guesswork, especially in repositories that use long descriptive branch names.\n\nI’m attaching a screenshot to show what I mean more clearly.",
