Cant see device name in new pickers?

I’m not really sure where this post should be listed because I’m not sure if I’m the only one who sees this.

When I’m editing an entity card or using the picker on my Samsung Galaxy Ultra I can’t tell which device is which in the list. I’m not quite sure if this is by design or if my actual device name is no longer prioritized. I’m not sure quite how to describe that but here are some screenshots that show the symptom.

Does anyone have any thoughts about this? I know I can rotate the screen but then I have to refresh the entire page for it to show the rest of the name but doesn’t it seem that the actual device name is what I am looking for?

Hello David Smith,

You can enable showing entity ID, that will make it more readable.

Using the entity ID seems counterintuitive to the user to interface when there is a device name that is used more commonly across home assistant in what seems to be somewhat of a standard practice except for in the Picker for some reason.

In the attached you can see that enabling the device ID still does not show which device it is because the name is truncated. The device name should be first. I simply can’t be the only one who sees this and is unable to use the Picker on my phone.
