Feature description

In the video grid views (i.e. channel details, subscription feed, playlists), long video titles are shortened when they wouldn't fit on screen. Newpipe does display the full title when opening the context menu of a video by longpressing on it, but the title is animated to scroll from one side of the screen to the other so it fits on one line. Unfortunately, this animation is very slow.

A possible solution to this would be to allow clicking on the title, thus showing the full title at once on how many lines it needs. Another click would return to the single line display. Firefox and K-9/Thunderbird for Android already do something like this for long URLs in their respective context menues.

Why do you want this feature?

I often start looking for the next video to watch before my current video is done, so I cannot just click on a video to quickly see the full title. Waiting for the animation in the context menu to complete is tedious and slow. There needs to be a better way to check the full title of a video without having to begin playback.
