Bug#422563: nautilus: Nautilus "cuts off" file names in list view

[José Alburquerque]

Package: nautilus
Version: 2.18.1-2
Severity: minor


Hi.  I have a folder with really long names and Nautilus tends to not
display each file name completely.  Some time before (I think in 2.16)
the file names were completely shown and I'm accustomed to the old
behaviour.  Right now even regular file names in my home directory are
not fully displayed.  Is this intentional?  I think that if file names
are going to be cut off, there should at least be a tooltip that comes
up showing the entire file name when mouse "hovers" over file name (sort
of what happens in iceape/iceweasel when hovering over bookmark names
which are not fully displayed).  I hope this is not impossible.  Thanks.

-Jose
