What happens when the track height is changed from 65 to 64, and then from 64
back to 65
It seems that track names are visible in the track header only when the default
track height is set to 65 or greater in Settings -> Default track height.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create a track and give it a name
2. In Settings -> Default track height, set your track height to 64 or less.
The track name will not be shown in the track header.
3. Set the height to 65 or greater. The track name will now be visible.
EXPECTED RESULT
In cases where the height is set to 64 or less, it would be preferable (imo) to
show at least a portion of the text anyway, even if the text exceeds the amount
of space available in the track header. This would at a minimum reduce
confusion and make it clear that a given track actually has a name, and in
some/many cases enough of the text will still be readable enough to make it
clear what the track name actually is.
Additionally, I believe that adding text to one or more areas in the UI would
also help clarify the requirement and reduce confusion. Examples that come to
mind: (1) just above the Settings -> Default track height area, (2) somewhere
in the add track modal.
I would also recommend adding a note about this to the relevant Help section
(https://docs.kdenlive.org/en/user_interface/timeline.html#track-header).
