Template names in dotnet new list output are being truncated with ellipsis

[Varorbc]

Describe the bug

Template names in dotnet new list output are being truncated with ellipsis (e.g., "ASP.NET Core gRPC Service" appears as "ASP.NET Core gR..."), which makes it difficult to identify templates at a glance. This impacts usability and user experience.

To Reproduce

Run dotnet new list in the terminal.

Expected behavior:

Full template names should be displayed without truncation.

Actual behavior:

Template names are abbreviated with an ellipsis (...) when they exceed a certain length, causing confusion (e.g., "ASP.NET Core gRPC Service" → "ASP.NET Core gR...").

Impact:

Reduces readability and forces users to guess or search for template identities, degrading the overall CLI experience.

Further technical details

• Include the output of dotnet --info
• The IDE (VS / VS Code/ VS4Mac) you're running on, and its version

@MihaZupan Thank you for your response! I understand the current behavior is due to terminal width limitations, but truncating template names (e.g., "ASP.NET Core gRPC Service" → "ASP.NET Core gR...") significantly harms usability. If template names cannot be fully displayed, I’d suggest alternative solutions:

Prioritize template names : Consider omitting other columns (e.g., Language or Tags) instead of truncating template names.
Wrap long names : Allow template names to wrap to a new line (similar to how Tags are displayed).
This would improve readability while maintaining the list’s compactness.
