           Summary: Dolphin abbreviates filenames in a way that makes not
                    clear it is an abbreviation
           Product: dolphin
           Version: 22.04.3

  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
Dolphin abbreviates long filenames like "thisisalongfilname.txt" as
"thisisalongfilna....txt" which itself would be a valid filename.
Indeed one can create the file "thisisalongfilna....txt" and dolphin displays
two files which seem to have the same name next to each other.

I would suggest coloring the three dots in a different color than the rest of
the filename or a similar indication what is part of the filename and what is a
replacement for a too long part of the filename.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create a file with a long filename
2. List the file in dolphin

OBSERVED RESULT
The filename is abbreviated to a string that could also be a valid filename.

EXPECTED RESULT
There should be some indication that it is abbreviated.
