Public bug reported: The width of columns in Nautilus appears to be averaged across all columns such that all columns display as much as possible. The consequence of this is that long names in the location-column will cause the name in the name-column to be truncated. The problem with this is that files with long names cannot readily be identified, because the differentiating part of the name is truncated as with, for instance, suffixes denoting version numbers.
