Description

Issue type

UI bug (incorrect info or interface appearance)

Description with steps to reproduce

There doesn't seem to be an obvious reason why just this one filter type is abbreviated. There are longer labels ("Fretboard diagrams"), and there's plenty of space.

Research direction

Start by locating the selection filter UI label shown as "Chord syms." and inspect how the other filter labels, including "Fretboard diagrams," are defined. Done means the filter displays "Chord symbols" without changing the other labels; the issue does not name a file or test to run.
