Furthermore we are often under time pressure, and don't always know how best to handle stuff

Sure given time and resources we can write what's needed, but sometimes we hope that it is there for the taking!

That code placed an ellipsis at the end rather than placing it at a sensible location in the middle.

You can look for inspiration

Why do people who call themself programmers expect that they can copy and paste everything from everywhere an it works out of the box...

Now that I have looked at it again more carefully I now think I it will be fairly simple to change it to place the elision point in the middle.

but that is not a good solution

Why? You wanted an elipsis, the example shows you how to do so, so why is this not a good solution?

You can look for inspiration in the Elided Label Example.
