A problem could be that you are using ClassicWB P96, and I don't know that. Does it have Scalos 1.2 installed on top of the Workbench 3.1?

It's not enough to just copy the newer libraries into Libs:. You have to remove the old ones and load the new libs.

On a normal OS 3.1 system you can replace the workbench.library and the icon.library v40 of the Rom with tools like RemLib, SetPatch v44, LoadResident or LoadModule for example. I've tried that and then it loads the libraies from Libs: and icons with long names are possible.

But it's not so easy if you want to do it correctly. ClassicWB has a very special setup and startup-sequence. With Scalos 1.2 it may not work at all. And you would also need another FBlit.cfg for v44+ and more tweaks.

It's much better to say good bye to ClassicWB and install a complete new system with OS 3.1.4 or even 3.2, as soon as the bugs are fixed.
