Comment(by Eben):

 I do indeed. The desired approach is to place an ellipsis within the
 string such that the last word (or grouping of non-word characters)
 remains visible.  eg. "over the river and through the woods" becomes "over
 the river and thr...woods", or "interface mockup number 2" becomes
 "interface mockup ... 2". The "last word" should be split on a word
 boundary, but the word in the middle needn't be.  In any case, if the last
 word itself is too long, revert to the aforementioned approach of adding
 an ellipsis at the end of the phrase instead.
