This is just a tip in case anyone is trying to figure it out.
On the ticket zoom, there is a section to the right in gray that displays several bits of information about the current ticket (state, child tickets, queue, etc).
My users really got tired of seeing only the partial text of the actual State and then having to wait for the alt text to pop up. Only 18 characters are shown by default.
To fix this the quick and dirty way (will be overwritten by future updates - so not recommended).
1. Edit /opt/otrs/Kernel/Output/HTML/Standard/AgentTicketZoom.dtl
2. Change this line :
<div title="$Quote{"$Text{"$Data{"State"}"}"}">$Quote{"$Text{"$Data{"State"}"}","18"}</div>
To:
<div title="$Quote{"$Text{"$Data{"State"}"}"}">$Quote{"$Text{"$Data{"State"}"}",}</div>
Of course, if you want to do this the correct way, you will need to copy the AgentTicketZoom.dtl file to your on template directory and edit the file inside that directory.
I hope this helps someone.
