- Using Ollama with autodetect
Description
In the general chat interface (CTRL+L), the currently selected model name is truncated. For example:

In this case, "Autodetect - mi..." is displayed, but it is unclear which model is selected. Hovering over the text does not provide a tooltip.
When opening the dropdown menu:

There is no highlight indicating the currently selected model. Additionally, multiple entries match the truncated name, making it impossible to determine which one is active.
Attempting to find the information in the extended options presents another challenge:

Here, the currently selected model is highlighted, but without prior knowledge of the selection, the only way I could determine the active model is by assuming the list is alphabetically ordered and cross-referencing with the list in the first dropdown.
Expected Behavior
- The UI should clearly indicate the currently selected model.
I imagine this could be helped with:
- A tooltip on hover to reveal the full name of truncated entries.
- The dropdown menu should highlight the active selection for clarity.
- Improving the truncate logic used in the extended settings UI, which cuts the text very early.
