Bug Description

Binary package hint: nautilus

While spatial-mode browsing long named folders, there's this button on the lower-left side of the window which is used to navigate to higher folders.

When the folder has a long name this button gets long too, and causes the information on the right to get hidden. Since seeing the full folder name is not necessary (as it already appears on the title bar) but the text on the right can be important, I think the folder's name in the button should be truncated. Here's a mockup of what I mean:
