Long plot names

In https://github.com/dask/distributed/pull/5129 we added a new “Workers network bandwidth timeseries” plot. I noticed that when the labextension sidebar is small, this plot’s name is large enough that its text doesn’t fit inside the corresponding button:

A couple of things we might consider:

1. We can change the plot’s name in distributed (e.g. drop the word “bandwidth” or “network”). However, as we make new plots in the future, some longer names might slip through. I suppose we could always add some test in distributed that plot names must be below X characters
2. I’m wondering if there’s anything we can do in the labextension to dynamically change the name that’s displayed based on the size of the sidebar (e.g. adding ellipsis like “Worker network bandwidth tim…”).
3. … something else?

Ah, good point. That plot is included in performance reports currently. @mrocklin feel free to correct me if I’m wrong, but my understanding is that plot is useful and we should keep it around.

Maybe the new plots should be “workers network” and “workers network timeseries”. That will fit within the labextension button and is consistent with other plot names (e.g. “workers disk”, “workers CPU timeseries”, etc.). We can reevaluate after the release later today
