Blender Version
Broken: version: 2.93.0 Alpha, branch: master, commit date: 2021-01-17 11:35, hash:
4ef0654449
Broken: version: 2.90
Worked: 2.83.x
Caused by
d62bbf4079
In 2.83.x and prior, when I switched to an object's Materials tab, and clicked the dropdown to add a material to the selected object, it would of course show the list of materials, and typing something in to search for a specific thing, such as "blue", would reduce the list to just the few things bearing that term. This is just like it should act.
Each item in the displayed list consisted of the material name followed by the name of the file it was linked in from, truncated in the middle to make both visible in part... but now, in 2.91.0, it only shows me the name of the file the material is linked from, but not the name of the material itself
For example, here's the materials list from one of my projects, linked in from a separate file since i use them in a lot of other projects, as displayed by 2.83.5:
Type something in:
Same project file, substantially the same materials, but now as displayed in 2.91.0:
Type something in:
As you can see, the material names are completely absent from the display, though the search clearly includes them. Since the material names aren't shown anymore, the displayed list is now basically useless. :-(
In Debug builds, an assert is triggered

It even asserts:
Will check on this.

This is a known ToDo, #84188 (Avoid clipping data-block name in data-block menu because of library name). For the release we can do a fix to just clip the middle of the hint, rather than the main text.
The implementation prior to
d62bbf4079
didn't deal with this well either, although it was a bit better then. Issue is that the current implementation always clips the text over the grayed out hint, which may make sense for menu shortcuts, but not here.Don't think this should be high-priority, the library names have to be quite long for this.
The assert is a new issue though, I guess that just signals that the hint is wider than the available width. I'd treat that as a separate issue.
