Developer Tools - Inspector - make it always show full list of selectors in the HTML panel?

In the Inspector panel in Developer Tools, HTML elements with a long list of selectors don't show all the selectors. They get reduced with a `...`. The only way I've found to show the full list of selectors is to double-click it (which puts it into "Edit as HTML" mode).

As a web developer, I find this is adding unnecessary complication and inconvenience. When picking selectors from the page, as I build out custom CSS, I don't want to have to put some HTML elements into "Edit as HTML" just to see what the full list of classes is, for example.

It most commonly occurs on the `body` elements on Wordpress sites (which tends to have a long list of `class` selectors for this element).

Is there a way to turn this feature off?

Here's the way it's displaying by default: https://ibb.co/MN93bKw

Here's the full list of selectors on that same element: https://ibb.co/Z85Sq6H

Thanks very much.

No sooner do I ask the question ... I figure out the answer.

There's a "Truncate DOM Attributes" setting under "Inspector" in the Dev Tools settings.

Problem solved.

But that brings up another issue. Is there a way to make the lines in Inspector HTML panel wrap to the panel width?
