--- Comment #7 from Ramon Almeida <[email protected]> ---

I believe it is worth mentioning how to get to the specific window referenced.
Even though it may be obvious to some, it can save other people some time. It
personally took me a few minutes to find it.  

Ctrl +F2
or
Insert > Fields > Other…

The reason why I find this issue troubling is because if the user is allowed to
customize the fields, they should be able to properly see the name they have
assigned to a field as it can eliminate confusion between fields with the same
first letters. Several potential solutions have been mentioned in comments
above.
A potential issue with window resizing is that it will not fix the problem for
really long names. Even if you can get the fields dialog box as big as your
screen, a large enough name will still be cut off. A potential solution might
be the Hover tool tip mentioned earlier that could be used in the Name box in
addition to stretching it to take up more space than it currently does. For the
selection box, a potential solution could be splitting the names into different
lines and have some way of indicating that several lines are part of one word.
This could work as there is already a scroll bar integrated in the selection
box. 

Example: (using an indent after the first line to indicate that subsequent
lines are still part of the first) 

bash_compressed
_file_location
