Description
This is not a major problem, but it seems that my written explanation of the options is too long to fit in the UI.
If there is some help, such as a mouse hover to display the full text in a tooltip, I would appreciate it.
(I'd really like to make this description shorter too, but it seems difficult to cut it down any further)

- Local OS Version: Windows 11
- Remote OS Version: NA

Steps to Reproduce:

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue through the Dev Container Configuration flow, selecting R (rocker/r-ver base) and then its options. Inspect src/r-ver/devcontainer-template.json around line 22 and compare the displayed description with the full text; done means the complete explanation is accessible in the options UI, such as through a tooltip.
