I just spun up a very vanilla instance of Drupal with the lovely new Olivero theme enabled as default!
Happy to find my rusty Drupal skillz got me all the way until this bug.
I thought I was going mad about why I had enabled site slogan, but it just WOULD NOT display.
So I turned to a search engine and found this 3 year old bug.
I haven't through read the whole thread, or checked to see if the issue summary is up to date or not, but I can 100% confirm it was really frustrating to enable a feature and not be able to figure out why it doesn't work :)
Looks like there's working, tested patches here, so let's go with what we have here, and create a new issue for improvements like cap on length.

Awww - Hell.
Angie "webchick" Byron, you are a class act.
Even whilst stepping down, and stepping back, you are graceful, gracious, and intentional.
The outpouring of recognition, and love is testimony to the impact you've had on us, those who've had the incredible good fortune to know you, work with you, laugh with you, cry with you. Drupal is what it is because of all of us, and we are that, because of you.
What can't be seen here, is the impact on the many other millions who've benefitted from what you did here.
Power to you.
Wow!!! Amazing. Thanks everyone :)
Thanks for the change record @

- Looks good. I'll remove the needs CR tag now.
I'm going to have a crack at a manual test, but it's been a while since I've done this. Wish me luck ;-)
Reading the issue thread here is like a who's who of Drupal!
It would be amazing to get this one smashed. :)
@phenaproxima said people
don't know or care what the IDs are. They recognize what they want by its title, date, teaser text, author picture, etc. Or some combination thereof
Exactly! and when it comes to hierarchical taxonomy - it's the relationships to parent and child terms that help provide that context.
have an option to toggle whether the ID is displayed or not. And I would like users to be able to reference an entity by its ID instead of by its title. - @ifrik #9
Yes!
We could simply introduce theme hooks, varying by entity type: theme_entity_reference_autocomplete_result__node(), theme_entity_reference_autocomplete_result__taxonomy_term(), and so forth. Then each entity type could be presented differently in autocomplete results, which would make it MUCH easier for the user to know what they were choosing - @phenaproxima #10
Interesting!
Thank you everyone for commenting, and validating this issue :-)
Various discussions on twitter, irc and slack have again highlighted this is a challenging issue. We do still need the ID. There are valid reasons for having duplicate titles / labels.
eg - hierarchical taxonomies
Vehicle - Motorbike - - Honda
Vehicle - Car - - Honda
Some people have suggested that making the ID more prominent, rather than hiding it, might be another approach to consider. Using the description field, or help text field, to tell the user the ID will be added, may reduce confusion, and make it clearer why the number is there, reducing the need to remove it.
Something like
Start typing to select a [user, term, node, etc], the ID# will be added automatically.
That also requires no development effort! Win!
But, this feels like a fallback position, a work around. I'm not convinced it's a truly satisfactory solution to the issue.
