TASK DESCRIPTION
  Steps to Reproduce:
  
  - Go to https://www.wikidata.org/
  - Type in the first letters of a stupidly long word like 
"Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz" into the 
search box
  - The Wikidata item for this will appear in the search dropdown and its label 
and/or description will be truncated with an ellipsis because they overflow the 
width of the dropdown
  
  Result: There is no way to tell the actual full label and description without 
clicking on the link.
  
  This could easily be fixed with giving both label (css class 
"ui-entityselector-label") and description (css class 
"ui-entityselector-description") a title attribute so you can see the full 
title by mouseover.
  
  Only a slight improvement but this can save quite some time when you are 
researching a lot of items.
  
  Mouseover titles do not help mobile users, but https://m.wikidata.org/ uses a 
different search box anyways so that is not a big problem.
  
  Nota bene: Wikipedia and other projects do not show this problem. On 
Wikipedia the search box is wider and titles are set. So this is specifically a 
problem with the Wikidata search.
