How to stop Jenkins from breaking UI?

Question

My build names are quite large and cannot be shortened, Jenkins 1.572 seems to be unable to handle large names and break UI (refer to image). I found a plugin to set build name, in my case I've set it as build number but the plugin only does this after the building process is complete (refer to build #31 to #35 in the image). This means UI still breaks.

Is there any plugin available to do this?

Downgrade to 1.571, or wait for 1.576 to be released that will include a fix. From the changelog, Upcoming changes:

Modernized sidebar <l:pane>s and making them work better with new layout. (issue 23810)
