Make hierarchical tags fully visible in the tag field of the browser

Right now, hierarchical tags only show the last child of each tree in the tags field in the browser (right side section). So I see things like …::irregular or …::simple instead or form::irregular, or nonpersonal::infinitive::simple. The only way that I know to check the full tree is by hovering the mouse over them.

This could be solved by lengthening the tag section just as it happens when individual tags are shown, and wrapping the content. Or maybe making those labels expandable when clicking on them or on some symbol?

This is something I would appreciate as well. I asked about it in the CSS Injector add-on thread but perhaps it is a change that needs to be made to Anki directly.

i disabled all my addons, and found that it will by default show full tag (win10+23.10, qt6)
then i turn back the addon on , batch by batch, then finally, after all addon back on, it still show full tag…

It depends on how many tags you have for the note. If the tags take up less than two rows, the full tags are shown, and they are shortened otherwise.

I just proposed a change to Anki to be able to switch the tag editor to a mode that shows full tags: Add tag display mode toggle for full hierarchical view by RisingOrange · Pull Request #4493 · ankitects/anki · GitHub
