Description

For 3-level breadcrumbs things have been done a bit inconsistently so far.
e.g. select something from main menu plus sub-menu and that thing has multiple tabs.
In some cases the display of the first (left) tab only has a 2-level breadcrumb. e.g.

a) Go to Services->DNS Resolver. The General settings tab displays first.
The breadcrumb is just:
Services / DNS Resolver

when you click other tabs it shows stuff like:
Services / DNS Resolver / Advanced

b) Go to VPN->LT2P. The Configuration tab displays
Until a moment ago the breadcrumb was:
VPN / LT2P / L2TP
I just did a PR that changed it to:
VPN / LT2P / Configuration

when you click other tabs it shows stuff like:
VPN /LT2P / Users

Should the convention be as per example (a) or (b) above, or?

Should the 3rd-level breadcrumb text match exactly the tab name ("Advanced settings") or can be a shortening or the first word of the tab name ("Advanced")?

If the whole system is consistent then it makes for a better user experience.
