I can't screenshot the issue properly on Ubuntu Gnome, but here is an explanation ;)

When in VSCode and having the icon bar set on top of the sidebar (like this):

And FrontMatter is in the three dots, I click the three dots, and it shows FM instead of the name of the extension. It would be useful to see "Frontmatter" here, because the icons are not shown (on my system in the three dots menu), and FM standalone might result in confusion as to which extension this is.

Thank you @davidsneighbour. The reason why it says "FM" is that it shows the current open file in the title:

It is not a bug, but it's as designed.

Just to be sure: I am talking about this menu, where we can select plugins and extensions for the side panel. It does not say the title there. I can't screenshot the dropdown for some reason on Ubuntu (it goes away when the screenshot is taken).
