​Yes ellipses and tooltips are used if name is too long.
​But what I think is the title has all useful information about the
database and server it is connected to, considering the case:

1) When multiple instances of query tool are opened in New Tab/Window. or
when a user has multiple screens.

2) If a user is parallely running multiple instance of query tool for
different databases of different servers. server name will help uniquely
identify the tab.

3) The panel can be moved out of Panels tab by dragging out, so the panel
title must have server and database information.

considering the above cases, I think the blue bar could be removed If query
tool title already have server and database information.
