In the query auto pilot, the field list box shows full qualified field names.
That is, for a database which supports catalogs and schemas (e.g. MS SQL
Server), the entries in the field list are
  <catalog>.<schema>.<table>.<field1>
  <catalog>.<schema>.<table>.<field2>
  ...

The list box is way too small for this, since the interesting information - the
field name - is often right outside the list, which forces the user to scroll
permanently.

Suggestion: Only show the field names in this list, not the fully qualified 
name.

On the right hand side listbox, the pure field name would not be sufficient
(since there fields from different tables can be displayed). So I suggest to
either use full qualified names on the right side only, or shorten names on the
right side, for instance
  field1 (<catalog>.<schema>.<table1>)
  field2 (<catalog>.<schema>.<table2>)
  field3 (<catalog>.<schema>.<table2>)
