Long strings mess up messages menu about newspeak HOT 5 CLOSED

Just one concrete example to duplicate: ObjectPresenter>>#helpText, then click on "find references" button.

Actual result: popup too wide to see anything useful. Tricky to get out of.

I am able to workaround the problem by modifying MethodMirror>>selectors and limiting the resulting list of literals to those whose size < an arbitrarily small number. 64 works good.

Good to know. That is the wrong place to put in that filtering though. The mirrors shoudl give you the true results, and not be concerned with UI limitations. But the filtering can be moved to the actual menu code.

So I made the change in the right place and it works pretty well. Arguably one should parse the symbols to see if they are legal selectors and filter on that basis instead; that could be done in the mirror. But this works for now. Once I push out the fix I'll close this issue, and replace it with a more minor one (showing strings rather than just selectors).
