Plugin install/update thickbox title should truncate at 103 characters

[usayd]

When plugin title exceeds 103 chars thickbox styling breaks. This would apply for install themes too.

Tested across Win/Mac, Chrome, FF.

Can be tested with live plugin titled 'MyGeoPosition.com Geotagging: Geotags / GeoMetatags / GeoFeedtags / GeoMicroformats / Maps '

Suggested fix: Truncate titles at 100 characters, add ellipsis ...

Multi lines on thickbox breaks styling

I was able to reproduce, and I've attached a patch to fix.

If the name of the plugin is greater than 70 characters, the patch truncates the name and adds ellipses.

Tested in 3.8 beta, works great. Nice work.

Please use … for the hellips and mb_substr() for truncating.

To be responsive we can also add some CSS like

#TB_ajaxWindowTitle {
	-o-text-overflow: ellipsis;
	text-overflow:    ellipsis;
	width: 90%;
	white-space: nowrap;
	overflow: hidden;
}

Attached patch for original using correct syntax.

Your CSS suggestion works great. I would use it within a media query instead, that way width can be reduced to 70% so it resizes to 320px screens.

Thinking the CSS fix is enough in this case. The advantage is it works for any width, including responsive/small screens, and the string doesn't need to be cut at 70 chars.
