Default Truncated preset names in track FX window list popup button

Hi,
the track FX windows always get a standard default size (even after resizing, it becomes automatically resized again after one switches to another plugin thru the list) in a way that the names displayed in the popup list button of preset names often are truncated. This sometimes may be very annoying. For example, to fine tune my effects I often prepare a list of several presets (for a later accurate choice of the best one), which I may call (for example) good_1a, evolution_2b, good_13b_harsher, etc. But since the preset names in the button always get more or less truncated, I have to resize (enlarge) the whole window everytime for them to be shown fully to understand WHICH is the active preset. This can be quite frustrating sometimes. Therefore I ask, if possible:
-When computing the track FX window minimum width, to take into account the longest of such strings (within some reasonable limits of course, i.e unless there are some very long names) so that no substantial truncation takes place, or alternatively:
-To maintain such windows' size on a per track basis, so that when the user resizes them their dimensions are preserved in further reopenings and not always changed to the default ones

Thanks

+1. Also would be great to have scrollbars outside plugins' GUI, not inside.
