Replying to John Navas:

The max size of the notification tooltip buffer in Windows is 128 characters including the NUL termination. When the profile name is long[*], it doesn't leave enough space for the IP. I think that's what you are seeing.
Ideally we could detect this and truncate the profile name instead of the IP, but as of now, its the total message that is truncated. Could be improved. Until then open the status window and check the IP displayed at the bottom. Unlike the tooltip that also works when multiple connections are active.
[*] about 32 characters depending on the locale. It gets tighter for v6 address.

Thank you for the fast response, and for the suggestion.
My concern is for my clients, many of whom aren't expert.
It's how the issue came to my attention in the first place.
I do think it would make sense to abbreviate
so as to ensure the full IP address is displayed.
In the meantime I'm renaming profiles with long names.
Thanks again.
