Description
Expected Behavior
We should have a graceful way to handle long names of blocks categories that do not fit in the blocks category menu.
Actual Behavior
Currently, there is at least one case in which a blocks category name is truncated by the width of the blocks category menu. The name of "variables" in Slovenian (Slovenščina) is Spremenljivke. In the menu at the left, that word is truncated and the final "e" in the word is hidden:

Start at the blocks category menu and reproduce the truncation with the Slovenian “Spremenljivke” label. Check how long category names are displayed and confirm that the completed behavior shows an ellipsis while keeping the category menu usable.
